Professional Outreach/Education Natural Pest Management Field Day on Farm Workshop/Field Day. Organized and led natural pest management field days along with Greentree Naturals Certified Organic Farm, Sandpoint, ID. Here, we educated interested community members, first-time and established farmers about alternative pest management strategies. Topics included insect identification, entomopathogenic nematodes and cultural control techniques such as enhancing natural enemy resources and the use of trap crops and companion plants to manage pests. We provided lunch for these events, a local chef prepared food for the participants using produce and eggs from Greentree Naturals Certified Organic Farm. In total, we had over 90 participants On Farm Extension talk Trap Cropping the Crucifer Flea Beetle (Phyllotreta cruciferae) in Broccoli, University of Idaho Extension-Brown Bag Seminars, Lapwai, ID.
