Presenters are Heather Darby and Abha Gupta of the University of Vermont, and Katie Campbell-Nelson of the University of Massachusetts. Brassica plants, including mustards, contain glucosinolates that, when broken down, produce compounds that can reduce weed pressure, insect pests, populations of parasitic nematodes, and soil-borne pathogens such as Pythium, Rhizoctonia, Sclerotinia, Verticillium, and Phytophthora. In this webinar, we’ll address the use of mustard cover crops that have been bred specifically to have high glucosinolate concentrations and act as a biofumigant in crops like potatoes, peppers, carrots, black beans, and strawberries.

Presenters are Giuseppe Colla of Tuscia University in Viterbo Italy, Mariateresa Cardarelli at the Italian Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry in Rome, Italy, and Dan Egel and Lori Hoagland of Purdue University. Effectively managing diseases is one of the biggest challenges facing organic vegetable growers. A wide range of biologically based products are now available on the market that claim to boost crop growth and help plants withstand many plant diseases. However, there are few independent, scientifically-based studies to validate the efficacy of some of these products, and instructions detailing how and when to apply these products to achieve the best results are unclear. In this webinar, participants will describe the different types of products available in the marketplace today, provide an overview of recent studies evaluating their efficacy, and discuss strategies for identifying the most effective products and application practices.

Seed is the foundation of our food system and one of the true wonders of the world. It holds the potential to address some of our most pressing human and agricultural issues from climate change to nutrition, but it is also bridled in political and economic struggles. Today, in the midst of the media frenzy of biotech solutions, genetically engineered food, and transparency in labeling, the positive and heartwarming stories that inspire and empower us are often lost or overlooked. Join a handful of passionate seed stewards who have dedicated their lives to explanding biodiversity, protecting human rights to save seed, and preserving as well as creating new cultural traditions around seed. Their stories and images will leave you inspired by the power and hope held in the humble seed. yt:video:U-O0IeUbBh8 U-O0IeUbBh8 UCNlwP-FG1Ylbk4ic-MVhGYw eOrganic https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNlwP-FG1Ylbk4ic-MVhGYw 2017-03-13T19:50:00+00:00 2017-03-22T18:07:44+00:00 Getting the Most Out of On-Farm Variety Trials Recorded live at the Organicology Conference on February 3, 2017. Presenters are Jared Zystro and Steve Peters of the Organic Seed Alliance. Knowing how to conduct variety trials can help farmers find the best varieties to grow for the farm and for the customer. Variety trials are also essential for farmer-breeders and seed growers dedicated to the continual improvement of seed. While properly conducted trials can be valuable, those not well planned do not provide meaningful results or are difficult to evaluate. Sometimes the plot layout is flawed, often the data collection is lacking, and very likely the farmer may become overwhelmed with other farm chores and the trial is neglected. This workshop will help farmers gather useful information through the fundamentals of field trial design and data collection without increasing labor and resource inputs. Presenters will share real life examples of variety trial layouts, results and challenges.

Organicology 2017 This session was recorded on February 3, 2017 at the Organicology Conference in Portland, Oregon. Presenters are Micaela Colley of the Organic Seed Alliance, David Lively of Organically Grown Company, Kristina Hubbard of the Organic Seed Alliance, Laura Llewellyn of the Port Townsend Food Co-op, Barry Haynes of the Ashland Food Co-op, and Adam Wagner of Organically Grown Company. This workshop will demonstrate the importance of organic seed to the success of the broader organic food trade, emphasizing the role that organic processing and retail businesses can play in ensuring farmers have the organic seed they need to meet market demand. Organic seed growers, plant breeders, farmers, produce retailers and food processors will talk about collaborations that ensure organic integrity along the entire production chain--beginning with organic seed. This channel contains many other recordings from conferences on organic seed.

Presenters are Lori Hoagland and Dan Egel of Purdue University, Jim Myers of Oregon State University, Julie Dawson of the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and Jared Zystro and Laurie McKenzie of the Organic Seed Alliance. Organic vegetable growers need varieties that are optimally adapted to their farming systems. In this webinar, participants will describe how to develop and select improved vegetable varieties using the breeding component of the tomato organic management and improvement (TOMI) project as an example. The goal of this project component is to develop new tomato varieties that are resistant to the most problematic diseases facing organic tomato growers, and have the good fruit flavor that customers expect from heirloom varieties. Specific topics will include: identifying key traits, choosing appropriate parents and a selection approach, making crosses, selecting from segregating populations for desirable traits, using genetic markers to aid in selection for key traits, and saving seed. Funding for this project is provided by NIFA OREI.

Presented by Elias Bloom and Rachel Olssen, Washington State University, and Bridget McNassar, Oxbow Farm and Conservation Center Habitats on organic farms—whether hedgerows, wind breaks, filter strips, fallow fields, crops in rotation and other areas—can provide conservation opportunities for insect pollinators, and as a result, valuable pollination services to the farmer. This webinar will look at habitat augmentation techniques useful for both wild bee conservation and the promotion of pollination services, with special attention to native plant selection and installation, experimental ground nest preparation, and cavity-nest construction. Knowing what to plant relies on having knowledge of wild bee communities and their services. The webinar is applicable to organic farmers and the general public who would like to plan habitat augmentations in diverse organic production systems. Plant information will lean on the Pacific Lowland/ Mixed Forest ecoregion, and will include referrals for other resources nationally. This webinar is part of the USDA NIFA OREI funded research project: Promoting native bee health and pollination services on organic fruit and vegetable farms, led by David Crowder of Washington State University. Past webinars on this topic, which you may wish to watch before this webinar, are available on this channel.
