Specialty Crops, IPM, and NRCS Conservation Programs

 

This educational video, created by North Carolina State University (NCSU) Center for IPM, will cover what IPM is, how it is used in specialty crops, and how it can be part of a federally supported conservation program. Using examples from specialty crop production, New Hampshire IPM state coordinator Dr. Amber Vinchesi-Vahl and IPM Extension expert Jeremy Delisle will discuss how they have integrated IPM into conservation practices and plans, as well as how their producers have benefited from NRCS conservation programs. Dr. Thomas Lynch, an IPM extension agent at NCSU, will explain the basics of IPM and the NCRS PAMS system. Article contributed by Ms. Liz Kreick.
