NAg Update Poster 2018

Presenter: Dr. John Gavloski, extension entomologist with Manitoba Agriculture The webinar will look at the many beneficial insects that keep pest insects from causing too much damage in field crops.  In particular, it will look at the economic thresholds of the damaging insects and emphasize that insecticide sprays should be the last resort in the fight against damaging insects.  Be aware of the beneficial insects that may make spraying unnecessary as they are controlling the pests.  When assessing a field for pests, pay attention to the beneficial, as well as the pest species, as they may be taking care of the problem for you.     Please sign up for the one hour webinar at 10:00am MST by following this link: https://register.gotowebinar.com/register/290458375461786627
