An all-day workshop with a dozen Panelists discussing how to grow healthy citrus trees.

more details at www.DietrickInstitute.org/eventse





The workshop builds on the principles of biologically-based preventive Integrated Pest Management and the three factors of the pest-disease triangle—the environment, the pest, and the immune system of the trees. It reports on the latest research and practices about soil health, plant nutrition, fertility, Integrated Pest Management and biological pest control.





Originally offered as an on-site event for $50 registration, due to the pandemic, we moved it online at no charge for all. Detailed Agenda and Information about Presenters shown below.
