Landscape fabric stretched over long rows of vegetable planting.

May 6, 2025.  The International Horti-Daily e-news reports news of interest to the global horticultural industry and today featured the Northern New York Agricultural Development Program-funded project that evaluated the opportunity to manage swede midge in brassica vegetable crops with the use of ground barriers.
