Join us to learn about options for controlling common garden and yard pests in this informational workshop featuring an educator from the University of Minnesota Extension in Clay County.
Do you know the differences between herbicides, insecticides, and fungicides, and organic vs. naturally derived pesticides? Can you tell which insects are beneficial, what nematodes do, and which bacteria can act as a pesticide? Would a general-use herbicide be best, or do you need one targeted to specific plants? Is a systemic or contact insecticide better? Is it possible to avoid using fungicides? Join us as Jillian Patrie, educator with University of Minnesota Extension in Clay County, explains the answers to these questions and more, as well as how to read labels and follow use requirements for various types of products.
