Hello all! I am the new IPM Entomology Farm Advisor serving Santa Cruz, Monterey, and San Benito counties. I am moving up from San Luis Obispo where I was serving as a Small Farm Advisor covering San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara counties. I am excited to work with my fellow new advisor, Yu-Chen Wang, to identify the best tools and strategies to tackle our region's pest and disease issues. Feel free to reach out to me at kapearsons@ucanr.edu.
