CRAFT Urban Ag IPM Workshop

July 19, 2022


Experts from the NYS IPM Program will be coming down from Geneva, NY to answer questions about beneficial insects and how to attract them to your urban farm or garden. We will also be providing some background on the Conservation Biocontrol project that is now in its second year, introducing our Cornell Cooperative Extension summer interns and providing a brief tour of Oko Farms.

If you have a disability and/or may require accommodations in order to fully participate in this event, please let us know here. For the brief presentation portions of the event, we will use microphones to ensure that everyone can hear.

A special note about the address, when you type "105 River St, Brooklyn, NY 11211" into Google maps it takes you to a dead end, so walk toward N 3rd and turn left, the farm will be on your left hand side.

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.
