Pest Management on Urban Farms: Row Covers [Chinese Translation]

用于城市农场的病虫害治理 小拱棚
Cornell Cooperative Extension has partnered with dozens of urban farms across New York State to demonstrate and evaluate sustainable pest management strategies. Together with farmers, we found success using control methods that prevent or reduce crop losses through exclusion strategies, crop timing, host resistance, the introduction of beneficial organisms, and more. Regardless of management strategy used, common requirements for success include a knowledge of the pest and disease complex, preventative deployment and commitment to the process. We've developed a set of fact sheets with case studies highlighting pest management techniques that New York urban farms have found valuable. The fact sheets are available in English, Arabic, Chinese, and Spanish. This factsheet highlights using row covers as an exclusionary pest management tool.
