GILFORD — Rachel Maccini, pesticide education coordinator at the University of New Hampshire Cooperative Extension, will present a program called Pest Management in the Garden on Monday, May 6 at 1 p.m. at Gilford Community Church on Potter Hill Road. The public is invited to attend.
Maccini will discuss the major groups of garden pests and give tips to identify the most common found in gardens in New Hampshire. She will help gardners learn how to incorporate important Integrated Pest Management strategies to control garden pests. IPM is an ecological approach to pest control that protects pollinators and is safer for the environment. IPM includes knowing the proper method to use at the proper time. Good cultural practices and proper selection of plant varieties, coupled with mechanical and biological controls will help control populations.Â
