Abstract
The fellowship consists of a variety of focuses, my group's main focus dealt with integrated pest management and monitoring organic vegetable and berry farms throughout Vermont. Our home base was The UVM Horticulture Research and Education Center (HREC), where we had weekly cohort meetings with all of the fellows, to scout a variety of crops on a weekly basis. HREC as home base for our project was important for establishing a pest monitoring program to provide local vegetable and berry growers weekly, Vermont-specific, information on the population dynamics of important pests throughout the growing season. The other part of this experience dealt with more on the ground research, be it measuring out research plots with different cover crops or organic pesticide usage, counting flea beetles and colorado potato beetles, setting out parasitic wasps in onion plots, to picking blueberries across the state for spotted wing drosophila pest management.
