Coffee Berry Borer IPM 101 Workshop - Maui
|
Wednesday, February 12th, 2020
5:30 pm-7:30 pm Kula Community Center E. Lower Kula Rd. Kula, Maui, HI 96790 Registration is required. Register below (preferred) or contact
Matt at (808)322-0164. Pre-registered participants will receive a CBB IPM and recordkeeping binder. One binder per farm. Coffee Berry Borer (CBB) is a damaging pest of coffee. This beetle bores into the fruit and damages the seed, thus affecting coffee yield and quality. If left unmanaged, CBB can cause over 80% cherry infestation and lead to immense damage to the Hawaii coffee industry. CBB is controlled using integrated pest management (IPM), which uses a combination of different techniques, as no single method will control CBB on its own.
UH-CTAHR welcomes new, beginning and established coffee farmers who have not yet attended a CBB IPM workshop, or who may need a refresher course, to join us at this informational CBB IPM 101 workshop. Participants will have the opportunity to learn about CBB biology and the basics for controlling this pest with current IPM techniques. Information about the Hawaii Department of Agriculture’s Beauveria subsidy will also be provided as this program assists coffee producers with the cost of approved-Beauveria products. Light refreshments will be available. This free event is hosted by UH-CTAHR and funded by the college and USDA. |
