“I hope to help them to identify common pest and insect problems in St. Kitts and Nevis and
basically recommend best practices or suggest best practices for managing those pests effectively
and also in a sustainable manner”, Paul explained.

He said the workshop which is scheduled to end on Friday, 27th January 2023 will wrap up with
a practical session to better educate the staff at the Department. The Technical Sales Agronomist
added that this training can help the Department provide further assistance to farmers.
Paul said, “We are having a more technical session for the extension staff where we will go a lot
more in depth in terms of the pesticide resistance tolerance etc. So the last day of the three-day
symposium which will be on Friday will be for the technical staff which is the extension staff.
We will be going a lot more in depth and teach them which pesticides are best to use so they are
better able to recommend the correct pesticides to the farmers.”

The Plant Protection Symposium will cover topics such as Invasive Pests Identification, The
Practice of Integrated Pest Management and Plant Protection in Organic Farming, Protection of
Environment and several other areas of focus.
The workshop is also being offered to staff at the Department of Agriculture on Nevis.
