Speaker: Dr. Ann Chase, Co-founder, Chase Agricultural Consulting

Dr. Chase will start with an overview of the most common green pests from algae and Nostoc (blue-green algae) and moss to Liveworts. She will share how these pests become problems in plant production including where they come from and how we make them worse. The final section will review the products that are used to prevent or control them from herbicides to disinfestants and even biologicals. Knowing which products work best in the greenhouse or nursery, as well as what your legal options include will be covered.
