The 22nd Greenhouse Tomato Short Course.
The 2012 Greenhouse Tomato Short Course will be held at
the Eagle Ridge Conference Center, 1500 Raymond Lake Road, Raymond, Miss.
On March 6 and 7, expert speakers will present seminars on a variety of
fields relevant to the production of greenhouse tomatoes.
Special topics this year will be components of the
greenhouse system, greenhouse design and engineering, alternative heating
options, greenhouse irrigation, budget for greenhouse growers, updates on
the latest research, plant nutrition, alternative crops, and of course the
pest management workshop, which will include physiological disorders,
diagnosing plant problems, plant disease identification and control,
biological control, and conventional and organic pest management.
Exhibitors from across the U.S. and Canada will be
available to show you their products and discuss how to use them. All
aspects of production will be thoroughly covered. Plan on attending this
Short Course to learn all you need to know about this crop and run a
successful greenhouse business. In recent years, the Short Course
attracted participants from more than 25 states and several Caribbean and
Latin American countries.
The Greenhouse Tomato Short Course continues to be the
best deal around! Compare this program to others that cost over $500 to
register. Advance registration is $125 (use registration form in mailed
packet or online with a credit card), or, if you prefer, you can pay $150
at the door, per person for the entire Short Course. |

| In recent years, the Short Course attracted participants from more
