UC IPM Pest Management Guidelines for Crops
http://www.ipm.ucdavis.edu/PMG/crops-agriculture.html The Pest
Management Guidelines are for commercial (i.e. you sell your
prod-uct) growers. For home garden use, look at the Pests in Homes,
Gardens, Landscapes, andTurf section. This should always be your
first stop in looking for information. If you look atinformation
from other states, always check it against UC IPM information.
There are two rea-sons for this:
1. We may not have the pests listed on websites from other
states.2. Pesticide laws in California are much stricter than many
other states. You must use only
materials registered by the State of California as well as the
US EPA. California labels for pesticides may be different, and
legally, you are expected to follow the California label.
The UC IPM site also has tools such as year-round pest
management guidelines, degree daycalculators for specific insects,
as well as CIMIS weather information.

Season Extension Techniques for Market Gardeners.

n.b. ATTRA lost federal funding for 2011 and is asking people to

is worth it as their information is extensive and veryuseful.
