This interactive training will focus on sustainable, practical pest management strategies that protect crops, people, and the environment while supporting farm viability. Participants will work alongside UGA Extension agents, specialists, and an experienced farmer to build pest identification and management skills. Sessions will include insect identification, plant disease diagnosis and holistic management, and proper calibration and use of backpack sprayers. Emphasis will be placed on accurate pest identification, informed decision-making, and effective application techniques. Attendees will gain hands-on practice in the field, leaving with tools and confidence to implement IPM practices on their own farms and gardens. Ideal for urban growers, beginning farmers, and anyone interested in sustainable vegetable production.
