Ontario Vegetable IPM (ON vegIPM)

In 2007 the OMAFRA Vegetable Team with Ontario Fresh Vegetable Growers created a comprehensive interactive CD to help vegetable growers and consultants improve their pest management knowledge.

The CD covers cucurbits (vine crops), brassicas (cole crops), and peppers. Text and photos take you through weeds, insects, diseases, and disorders. Distinguishing look alike problems and diagnosing soil disorders are also covered. Scouting calendars, identification keys, and glossaries are additional resources provided on the CD. You can use Test Your Knowledge to see what you've learned and find out what you need to review.

Copies were distributed in Ontario and the United States at vegetable events including conferences and scout training. Due to its popularity it is now being expanded to include strawberries, sweet corn and tomatoes, with a new section on herbicide injuries.

To get a copy of the 2007 version contact Janice LeBoeuf at janice.leboeuf@ontario.ca. The strawberry module is expected to be available in the spring of 2009.
