This project is designed to assist growers in Massachusetts who have diversified farms that include greenhouses. Extension educators work one on one with growers demonstrating the use of on-site disease test kits, pH and EC meters and helping growers identify pests and choose solutions to pest problems. Farmers who have greenhouses growing spring crops are encouraged to call and arrange for a visit to their greenhouses. Cooperating growers will be required to provide information for a short survey and follow-up evaluations. If you are interested in participating in this project, contact Tina Smith, 413-545-5306, tsmith@umext.umass.edu or Paul Lopes, 508-295-2212 ext. 24, lopes@umext.umass.edu.
