Organic Crop Management Series. Session 4: Organic Weed Management
October 15 @ 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm
Organic Crop Management is a FREE webinar series led by local farmers and agricultural resource specialists. Growers will gain the tools to manage soil health, weeds, pests and diseases for the whole farm. Participants will also gain insight into considerations for Organic Certification. Each session will center around direct experience in the field from organic growers of different scales.
Effectively managing weeds can be the most labor-intensive task for ecological crop and vegetable production. This online workshop will cover common weed biology, ecology, and identification. You will also learn preventative, mechanical, and cultural practices you can implement on your farm to reduce weed pressure. Mary Carroll will share the weed management practices that they use to identify weeds and reduce weed pressure at Red Scout Farm.
