WINNING AGAINST THRIPS:
Building the Right Strategy to Defend Your Margins
Thrips are costing Ornamental Growers more than ever before, but it doesn't have to be that way.
Join us for lunch, and learn how to build a sustainable thrips management framework that reliably prevents outbreaks & protects your farm's bottom line.
March 20, 2025 | 11:00 am - 2:00 pm | Only 30 Seats
St. Catharines – Holiday Inn & Suites Conference Centre
Most Growers are dealing with a wide variety of thrips species, while trying to stay within budget.
Sometimes they know what to expect, but other times they don't.
It's frustrating when it seems like the only option for controlling new & familiar thrips threats is to spray while hoping for the best, at the cost of wiping out the time & money that has been invested in the biocontrol program. So let's build a more sustainable way forward.
Join us for lunch on March 20, 2025 from 11:00 am to 2:00 pm at the St. Catharines – Holiday Inn & Suites Conference Centre & learn how to build & execute a sustainable strategy that works for your thrips species, your varieties & your farm's best interests.
Only 30 seats available first come, first take - so don't wait!
You won't want to miss this valuable learning opportunity.
