Biological Besties -- A Cornell IPM Skillshare Event

Join the Cornell Agriculture Extension team for an evening of nerding-out about beneficial insects and integrated pest management hosted by Pink Houses Farm. We'll spend some time guiding you through how to distinguish beneficial insects from harmful ones, ways to bring more beneficials into your growing space, and meet (or re-connect!) with fellow farmers and gardeners from the region.

Field Guide: Arthropod Pests of NYC Vegetables

Arthropod Pests of NYC Vegetables aims to help urban farmers and gardeners find, identify, and understand the most common and important insects and other arthropod pests found in New York City farms and gardens. Some of these pests are rarely mentioned in other guides but are common in NYC. The guide emphasizes scouting tips, including how to identify pests by the damage they leave behind, even when you can't find the insect itself.

This guide was created as a collaboration between Cornell Cooperative Extension's Harvest New York team and the New York State Integrated Pest Management Program.
