This interactive session will cover how to:

• Identify and monitor six‑spotted mite

• Use pesticides effectively to improve control and reduce resistance risk
• Identify key symptoms of Polyphagous Shot Hole Borer (PSHB) in avocados

The workshop will include presentations, group discussion, and hands-on activities designed to strengthen your pest management approach and allow you to connect with other growers.
