Weekly Growing Season Pest Reports
Compiled by Eric Sideman, MOFGA's Director of Technical Services
"The pest report is a free service that I email directly to MOFGA certified organic growers and others who request it (contact mofga@mofga.org to get on this list).
I create the Pest Report by garnering information from Extension publications in northern New England, modifying their information to meet organic guidelines, and combining that with field reports I get from our local Extension folks, MOFGA inspectors and my own farm visits. I especially want to thank Ruth Hazzard and the other folks in Massachusetts for their excellent Vegetable Notes, Vern Grubinger in Vermont and Mark Hutton and David Handley here in Maine."
