Join us for this webinar as we discuss which cover crops, herbs, and cut flowers best support pollinators, predators, parasitoids, and have extra value for culinary or ornamental use.
Cover crops, herbs, and cut flowers provide forage and nesting sites for pollinators and natural enemies of crop pests (such as wasps, flies, and beetles). Learn which plants and management techniques best support pollinators, predators, and parasitoids, and have extra value for culinary or ornamental use.
