It’s almost time
for our annual selection of minor use pesticide priorities for Nova Scotia
crops, and we hope you can join us! The session for berries will take place
virtually via Zoom on Wednesday, November 16 from 1 to 2 PM.
Our minor use
representative, Michelle Cortens will briefly outline the process. Then as a
group you will be guided through the different crops to assess the priority
pest control needs for insects, weeds/growth regulators, and diseases. If
you have potential solutions on your radar (products registered in other crops
or for other uses) or have heard of products you might be interested in, please
bring those along as well.
Any grower is
welcome to attend, so if you know of someone who would like to attend please
let me know so I can include them in the contact list. If you can’t make the
meeting, please send me your critical pest issues and any potential solutions
for consideration at the meeting.
The selected
priorities will then be submitted on behalf of the province and used in ranking
the national priorities.
Please find
attached the documents for the berry selections made over the last two years.
