SESSION 2 JULY 20
TOPIC: Pests and Pestilence- Learning about Insects and Plants
Instructors: Nate Walton, Michigan State University Extension Program Instructor
Dr. Duke Elsner, Michigan State University Extension Horticulture Educator
What's eating my plant? Insect identification is the first step in successfully managing these pests. This often comes by honing a diagnostician's skills to observe signs and symptoms that are telltale. Participants will also learn more about using a key to identify pests, insect life cycles, and the types of damage caused by insect feeding. You will also learn more about the relationship that beneficial insects have with garden pests
