On your profile there will be a stream of content tagged IPM that you can share with your growers. Now some of you have been reading this blog for a while might have just got a hint. When I just wrote “stream of content” you might have remembered our recent articles about RSS (Really Simple Syndication), the value of using RSS, and our eExtension Tip #2 on using Google Reader.
