MN Fruit & Vegetable IPM News - Vol. 1, No. 1

The MDA’s apple insect monitoring program will focus on six insects this year. Data will be collected from traps monitored by MDA staff and from self monitoring orchard cooperators. We are pleased to welcome some new cooperators and to say “welcome back” to some returning cooperators who will be involved in the project for another year. If you have questions about the program contact Jean Ciborowski at the MDA at 651-297-3217.
