Coffee Berry Borer - Botanigard

When
02 Apr 2011
9:00 AM - 11:00 AM
Location
Captain Cook Coffee Farm

The CBB is relatively new to Kona and we are still learning how to deal with it. With proper management, the CBB can be controlled. Without proper management, it can destroy 100% of your coffee.

This workshop will cover all the latest developments concerning CBB with a concentration on the newly approved biological insecticide Botanigard. This insecticide is not a magic bullet but it is an important tool in the fight against CBB. We will discuss and demonstrate proper usage of this insecticide.

We all need to work together if we are going to control this new threat. The workshop is free and open to the public. If you or any of your neighbors have any coffee at all, you are encouraged to attend.
