Planning Unit: Entomology

Major Program: Horticulture, Commercial

Outcome: Initial Outcome

I was solicited to present in-person however to avoid risk this task was conducted online using zoom. The event was to make aware to the agricultural workers, and palm growers (coconut or oil) about the destructive effect this weevil species can have on the Caribbean. People were receptive and positive comments were obtained during presentation.
