Week 5 Assignment

Number of replies: 0

1. Now that you know more about where insects might come into a greenhouse, and scouting in general, check your map.  Are there ways you can improve it to make it more useful as a scouting guide? Post it in the forum!

2. Check your marked plants.  Any changes? Was anything done to them since you first marked them (pest management treatments, etc.)?  Share what you find.

3. Create a scouting form for your greenhouse and post a picture of it.  What do you need to know?  Include crops, possible insect and disease pests.  Talk to the grower to get information for your form. The information you gathered last week might help with creating your scouting form and there are examples under Resources in week 2. How often do you think you should or would scout?  Can you tell how long you think it would take each time?
