Insect & Disease Diagnosis
- The backbone of any control program is the correct diagnosis of the problem
- Improper diagnosis leads to unnecessary pesticide applications
- Control treatments are much more cost effective when the causal agent is properly identified
Field Monitoring
- Routine monitoring is critical to control success
- By knowing what pests are located where in your field, treatments can be prioritized
- The earlier a problem is detected, the easier it is to control
Treatment Timing
- Treatment timing is the key to the success of any control application
- Understanding insect and disease life cycles allow for precise treatment timings
- Precise treatment timings "maximize" control success, which "minimize" the amount of chemicals needed.
