12/20/2023 | Leafy Vegetables and Herbs, p. 186 | There was a mis-print in the physical guide that is missing the Horticultural information for Leafy Vegetables and Herbs, and instead goes right into the Disease management. It is also missing the Disease Management header. The horticultural information has been added to the downloadable guide here, increasing page length to 309. |
12/20/2023 | p. 156-302 | There was a mis-print in the physical guide. For some reason the top right-hand corner page headers starting in the Fruiting Vegetables - Diseases section and continuing to the end of the book also include "Sweet Potato - Weeds" in the header. These errors have been fixed for the downloadable guide here. |
07/19/2024 | Onions and Related Crops, p. 221 | The PHI for Agri-Mek is 30-day for garlic, shallots, and dry onions, and 7-day for leeks and green onions. These items have been fixed in the database for the online interactive guide, but won't be incorporated into the downloadeable pdf until next release. |
07/19/2024 | Fruiting Vegetables, p. 180 | The PHI for Agri-Mek is 7-day for field-grown crops, and 1-day for greenhouse tomatoes. These items have been fixed in the database for the online interactive guide, but won't be incorporated into the downloadeable pdf until next release. |
