Abstract

This describes the development of a Poinsettia IPM program in Connecticut. The program emphasizes hands-on training at growers' greenhouses. This provides growers will the knowledge, skills and confidence they need to reduce reliance on pesticides while maintaining or increasing crop quality by applying IPM methods. The ultimate benefits of IPM are cost savings to growers and lowered impact to the environment and ground water.
