Upcoming IPM Events
Northeast Greenhouse Conference and Expo is pleased to announce that we will offer a webinar series this fall, beginning Nov. 4 sponsored by New England Floriculture Inc., in order to deliver content relevant to greenhouse pests, diseases, biocontrols, PGRs, and sanitation. Although we regret having to postpone the Northeast Greenhouse Conference and Expo to 2021 due to the Coronavirus pandemic, we hope that these webinars will provide important education (and pesticide recertification credit) for the greenhouse community in 2020. We have received pesticide recertification credits for the New England States and New York. Visit https://www.negreenhouse.org/virtual-series-schedule.html for the dates/topics and registration information.
We hope you can access the EIDL application on the SBA portal at any point now!
https://www.sba.gov/page/disaster-loan-applications
EIDL is a loan program directly through SBA that can cover many expenses. As part of the program, you can ask for an advance of up to $1000 per employee (up to 10), that functions as a grant. There is a huge backlog already in this program, so any new applicants are already behind others.

Due to the current COVID 19 situation, Extension Educators throughout New England have joined forces in a collaborative effort to develop a winter series of online educational programming focused on commercial fruit production. We have not planned in-person meetings for the near future, however, we hope growers will find some benefits to having access to the broad schedule of topics and speakers available through the New England Winter Fruit Seminar Series. The schedule is still being finalized, so please continue to visit https://ag.umass.edu/fruit/news-events/new-england-winter-fruit-seminar-series for the latest schedule updates.
Important: In order to receive pesticide safety recertification credits, participants are required to pre-register for each of these free seminars prior to the event. Pesticide Safety Recertification Credits: 2
