“Two Pesticides are Better Than One” Delaying development of herbicide resistance in weeds, herbicide mixing, and rotation are critical. One of the 12 Best Management Practices (BMPs) for reducing risks of herbicide resistance is: Use multiple, effective MOAs [Mechanisms of Action] against most troublesome weeds and those prone to herbicide resistance. Discuss importance of using multiple MOAs to manage weeds and provide research results that support this important BMP.

“Monitoring Insect Pest to Reduce Impacts on Farm Profitability” Insect pests can affect crops with serious impacts on farm profitability. Not all insect pests are created equal and some cause more damage than others and some are not even “pests” at all! Insect damage can be confused with environmental factors, nutrient deficiencies and/or other disease symptoms. Recognize pest species and damage. Regular scouting (monitoring) to identify and determine the extent of emerging pest threats. Identify major pests like Wireworms, Hessian fly, Cereal Leaf Beetle, Aphids (especially the new Wheat Grass Aphid), Cabbage Seedpod Weevil in Canola and Pea and Leaf Weevils in Peas control at treatable levels.
