University of Missouri Extension is offering a nine-part webinar series on organic production of specialty crops.
The series, which runs Sept. 26 to Nov. 28, begins with an overview of the organic certification process. Other topics include soil and fertility and management of weeds, insects and diseases in organic systems. There also will be individual classes on organic production of tomatoes, leafy greens and berries.
“MU Extension horticulturists work with many fruit and vegetable growers who have an interest in organic production,” says MU Extension horticulturist Justin Keay. “Some want to work towards USDA organic certification, while others are interested in implementing organic practices but not seeking certification.”
