2025 CCE ENYCHP Subscriptions and Guidelines

2025 Guidelines and CCE ENYCHP Subscriptions

We just wanted to let everyone know that the 2025 Cornell Guides for Integrated Pest Management (aka The Recommends), will not be available in either print or online versions until the end of March at the earliest, with many not releasing until April. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. This is also why we were delaying the Eastern NY Commercial Horticulture Subscription notice as we offer the ability for you to order those Management Guidelines through our program. Below is the link to the 2025 CCE ENYCHP Subscription form as well as a link to our 2024 Annual Report.

For questions or comments, please contact Chuck Bornt at 518-859-6213 or cdb13@cornell.edu 

Thank you and have a great 2025 season!
