You will get the most out of this tutorial if you are able to access the NEWA website at the time as viewing the webinar, either on the same or on different computers, as there will be "practice problems" to work through on your own during the tutorial. It is not necessary to take part in the practice problems, but they will help you to get the most out of the training.

Managing the Invasive Swede Midge Webinar
March 6, 2026 : Managing the Invasive Swede Midge Webinar
Swede midge is an invasive fly that causes serious economic losses to brassica crops. Due to its small size and hidden feeding habits, swede midge is often called an "invisible pest" and damage may be misdiagnosed. In this webinar, we will review the swede midge life cycle and crop damage symptoms, current management recommendations, new research findings, and highlights from on-farm case studies with a focus on organic management.
