ALERT: Keeping an Eye Out for Spotted Lanternfly Nymphs
It's time to keep an eye out for Spotted lanternfly nymphs in Tennessee! These invasive insects feed on a wide range of plants and can quickly spread if not managed early. If you see them, please stomp them, destroy egg masses when possible, and report sightings to the TDA.
A new covercrop/tillage technique from Germany is catching interest because it can build organic matter, improve tilth, and raise fertility. Flächenrotte involves growing dense covercrops that are inoculated, mowed, and incorporated with shallow tillage.
The Tennessee Small Farm Expo is the seminal event of the TSU Extension calendar, gives us the opportunity to reach out to our partners from across the industry of Tennessee agriculture and enhance our relationships with them so that together we can advance Tennessee agriculture and Tennessee farmers.
