Through science-based educational programs, Rutgers Cooperative Extension truly enhances the quality of life for residents of New Jersey and brings the wealth of knowledge of the state university to local communities.

The Plant & Pest Advisory communicates concise, timely, seasonal management pearls that have served to sustain New Jersey commercial growers for over 40 years. Articles focus on insects, disease, and weed management for fruit, vegetable crops, field and forage crops, ornamentals and turf. These are advisories that commercial operators can take action on. They come straight from our research and extension to your business—fast—because rapidly changing information impacts production. Emerging issues in nutrient management, farm food safety, crop insurance and risk management education, and disease forecasting using NEWA may also be found within the pages of the Plant & Pest Advisory.
