Forecasting Potato/Tomato Late Blight for YOUR Farm
March 20, 2014
Learn how to use this new LB forecast tool on your farm. Participants will set up their personal farm accounts on the Late Blight Decision Support System (DSS) website, defining the location of their farm/fields, and their varieties. They can sign up for email/text alerts regarding when fungicide sprays are needed. Once basic farm/crop information is in a user's account they can access DSS reports and input fungicide sprays by smartphone or tablet.
A laptop computer capable of wireless internet access is needed for the workshop. Be sure to indicate if you need to borrow one! If you have questions about the workshop or the LB Decision Support System contact Carol MacNeil.
Free - but pre-registration is required by March 13. Pre-register online or by calling Carol MacNeil. DEC pesticide credits will be available.
