Greenhouse Grower occasionally highlights a video that shines a spotlight on the controlled-environment industry, from crop protection advice to insider views on plant production at greenhouse operations across the country. Have you recently produced a video that you want us to highlight? If so, please send a link to Greenhouse Grower Multimedia Specialist Nick Matysik at [email protected].
From the Vineland Research and Innovation Centre and the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food, and Agri-business (OMAFA), Dr. Sarah Jandricic talks about how farmers, growers, and integrated pest management (IPM) professionals can choose the right type of microscope for their operation. Jandricic covers the importance of microscopes in allowing growers to accurately identify thrips and view the effectiveness of natural enemies, as well as important features to look out for, including the ability to take photos and videos through microscope eyepieces, whether for documentation or social media use. These videos and more can be found hosted on the Greenhouse IPM YouTube channel.
