IPM Part 2: Tending to your Farm Ecosystem / MIP parte 2: cuidando de su ecosistema agrícola

Once you’ve built a thriving farm ecosystem, how do you manage it when things go sideways? In this second IPM workshop, we move up the IPM pyramid — covering physical and mechanical management (including cover cropping), biological controls like predatory insects, and responsible use of chemical controls when necessary. You’ll leave with a full toolkit for responding to pest and disease pressure while protecting the ecosystem you’ve worked to build. Part 2 of a two-part series. Attending Part 1 first is recommended but not required.

Una vez que hayas creado un ecosistema agrícola próspero, ¿cómo lo gestionas cuando las cosas se tuercen? En este segundo taller sobre el MIP, avanzamos en la pirámide del MIP, abordando el manejo físico y mecánico (incluidos los cultivos de cobertura), los controles biológicos como los insectos depredadores y el uso responsable de los controles químicos cuando sea necesario. Al finalizar, dispondrás de un conjunto completo de herramientas para hacer frente a la presión de plagas y enfermedades, al tiempo que proteges el ecosistema que has trabajado para construir.  Segunda parte de una serie de dos. Se recomienda asistir primero a la primera parte, pero no es obligatorio.
