Landscape Message
The Landscape Message is compiled from information gathered by UMass Extension scouts monitoring landscape sites across the state. During the growing season this message is updated each week in order to provide Green Industry professionals with current information on pest activity, growing degree days, cultural problems, pest management strategies, and upcoming educational programs.
