Since it was first discovered in Ontario greenhouses in 2022, growers, IPM specialists, consultants, and technical reps have been joining forces to learn everything we can about what works – and what doesn’t – for this pest of tropical ornamentals.

Join us for a GrowON webinar next Tuesday on real-world solutions for this pest from “boots on the ground” folks who’ve been working with this pest for 2 years in commercial operations in Ontario. Crops covered include mandevilla/diplodenia, hoya, anthurium and a few others.
