Abstract

On 2 Oct. 2012 extension agents from Manatee, Hillsborough, and Hendry counties, along with specialists from the Gulf Coast Research and Education Center (GCREC), hosted a one-day program entitled Pest, Disease, and Nutrient Workshop and in-service training. The agents and specialists identified a need for educational
training in the areas of vegetable pest management and nutrition. Target audiences included small and large vegetable growers, crop consultants, and extension agents with responsibilities in vegetable production.
