Overview of Winter Moth Biological Control - Forestry Friday Webinar
Date:?September 9, 2022 ? This Friday!
Time:?9:00 AM - 10:00 AM
Location:?Virtual
Event Type:?Workshop/Training
University of Massachusetts? Elkinton Lab will provide an overview of current efforts to understand and promote biological control of winter moth (Operophtera brumata).
Winter moth is an invasive moth species causing coastal hardwood tree and forest damage and mortality in Maine. For more than a decade it caused more extensive impacts in eastern Massachusetts, eventually spreading to Rhode Island and Connecticut. In those states, winter moth is now largely under control thanks to natural enemies and the work of the Elkinton Lab and their cooperators.
This webinar is approved for one pesticide credit.
