Garlic Production and Pest Management Workshop

This workshop will cover every part of garlic production in Ontario including:

• cultivar selection
• planting density

• soil testing
• fertility

• crop insurance
• pathogen / disease identification
• pest identification

Special emphasis will be put on Fusarium management, improving storage, as well as integrating recent work on:
