Pest -management fact sheets and internet bulletins are concise sources of information on a given pest, crop, or pest management setting. They are most often used by extension professionals, master gardeners, and growers. While new pest species may emerge from time to time, many have remained associated with their crop hosts for decades or centuries. Thus, sources of information must be updated periodically in order to provide the latest management information to stakeholders. A typical fact sheet will include basic information (physical description of the pest, biology, life cycle), a description of the pest’s agricultural impact, management strategies, and figures (photos, tables, graphs, etc.). Some of the resources EOA students have produced or contributed to are:
