Grow field crops, or know someone who does? What’s happening in the field — and where?
The growing season is upon us and keeping on top of what insect, disease and weed pests are out there — and when — can make a big difference in a farm’s profit margin. Where can you get timely information to keep current on the field crop and livestock pests of the week?
The NYS IPM Program’s Weekly Field Crop Pest Report — of course. This online publication, now in its 13th year, compiles pest and crop observations collected weekly by field crop extension specialists — and others — across NYS. The report also contains information on pest identification, scouting techniques, a calendar of suggested pest management activities, and other IPM-related resources. Join other field crop producers, crop consultants, agribusinesses, and Cornell Cooperative Extension educators and sign up today — it’s free.
The 2014 blog season begins May 8th. See you there. Have a great field season!
