Extension Specialists Debut New NewsletterSource: e-Grow Alert

Floriculture extension specialists at Cornell Cooperative Extension of Suffolk County, Purdue University, North Carolina State University, and University of New Hampshire have created a new “alert” newsletter for greenhouse growers.

The goal of the newsletter, e-GRO, is to let growers know of insect, disease, nutritional,environmental or physiological growth situations that are occurring – so growers know what to be on the look out for.

The authors plan to send out updates during the spring 2012 cropping cycle. The updates will be emailed on an as needed basis, roughly targeting four per month. The format will focus on a single problem and contain color photographs.
