Description
The many treatments required to control insects and diseases in berry crops can limit the use of integrated pest management (IPM).

Objective(s)
- Create a poster to help producers and extension agents choose pest and disease control strategies
- Summarize information on the efficacy of pesticides against pests and diseases and their potential negative impacts on natural enemies in three crops (strawberries, raspberries, and highbush blueberries)
- Set up a committee of experts to validate the information collected
