Aphids—Go Time Appears in GrowerTalks Magazine

Koppert’s national ornamental consultant team manager, Jeremy Webber, has an article in the March issue of GrowerTalks. In Aphids—Go Time he discusses key points about the main types of aphids growers are most likely to encounter this spring, including the melon or cotton aphid, green peach or tobacco aphid, and the potato aphid, and how to identify them. This information is critical right now because this is the time to get a biocontrol plan in place, so crops are protected from the very start of the season.

Jeremy Webber rose through several New England production facilities, and was Director of Operations for a large perennial wholesale nursery. He’s shipped a wide range of perennials, shrubs, annuals, and edibles, using both traditional pest treatments and innovative biocontrols, championing hybrid biosolutions.

GrowerTalks magazine has been the industry’s voice for ornamental horticulture since 1937. Growers and propagators turn to it to learn about the newest standards and practices, including those for biological programs and integrated pest management (IPM).
