Rutgers Cooperative Extension (RCE) offers an extensive statewide program in integrated pest management (IPM) for greenhouses/floriculture, nurseries, and field, fruit, and vegetable crops; a new program covers schools. IPM provides pesticide applicator training, guidance on alternative pest management approaches, an information-packed website, and newsletters, among other services and resources. The Camden County RCE office in District 4’s Clementon is home to the state’s Greenhouse/Floriculture Integrated Pest Management program for commercial growers of annual and perennial flowers, herbs, and vegetable transplants. The office offers pesticide application training and publishes Northeast Greenhouse IPM Notes, a full-color newsletter for greenhouse growers prepared jointly by RCE and Cornell University. The newsletter, which is archived and available online, contains the latest information on pest sightings and trends in the Northeast.
