Thanks in advance! – From the Northeast IPM Center
The BMSB Working Group, through NE IPM Center and Cornell University, is collecting information from farmers on BMSB impact and management. If you have time, please fill out this short survey. It will help to gather information that we can use to identify what’s working and what we still need to do.
