Thursday, March 28, 2019
or Wednesday, April 3, 2019 9:00 am – 11:00 am Kona Cooperative Extension Office & Kona Research Station 79-7381 Mamalahoa Highway Kealakekua, HI 96750 Registration is required. There are two sessions and each class is limited to 20 participants - on a first come, first serve basis. AGENDA
UH-CTAHR’s Cooperative Extension welcomes you to an educational, interactive, and hands-on field day for the 30 trees sampling method for coffee berry borer, Hypothenemus hampei (CBB), monitoring. CBB is considered one of the more important and devastating insect pests of coffee. They are currently found throughout Hawaii Island and on selected farms on Oahu and Maui.
The goal of this field day is to train growers on the sampling technique as well as how to use the results in their decision-making process for CBB management. During this field day, participants will receive a brief overview of CBB management followed by instructions of the 30 trees sampling method. They will then put their newly learned skills to the test by conducting the sampling in a coffee field. Instructors will be available to assist during the field sampling and then will review the results and have an open discussion with participants. Participants should bring a clean, sharp knife or pruning shears for the dissection portion of the field day. Participants should come prepared for sun or rain. We recommend:
• Closed-toe shoes • T-shirt or light-weight long sleeve shirt • Light-weight pants or shorts • Hat or visor • Sunscreen Provided: water, mosquito repellent, & waterproof shoe coverings during field tour |
