Resource Guide for Organic Insect and Disease Management

http://www.nysaes.cornell.edu/pp/resourceguide/index.php
The Guide is divided into three sections. The first section provides cultural
information and management practices for a number of important vegetable crop
groups. For each family, key pests and disease problems are described. Cultural
methods and management practices that will help control the problem are listed,
as well as materials that may be recommended for use.
The second section is a
set of generic fact sheets about specific materials that can
be used in organic systems. The fact sheets provide background
information about the type of material, how it is made, how it
works, and the types of pests it will control. Replicated field
trials on crops grown in the northeast are included.
The last
section contains appendices with useful information about additional
practices such as plant resistance, trap cropping, habitats for
beneficial insects, the concepts of induced or systemic acquired
resistance, materials exempt from pesticide regulation, and additional
resources.
The Guide is available on the web. A limited number of
printed copies of this guide are from: Gemma Osborne, NYSAES,
