IPM isn’t always about doing more - it’s about doing it more efficiently.

Trap crops and targeted monitoring are some techniques to help manage pest movement and focus control where it’s needed.

🌡️ A stretch of warm days can move things along faster than expected.


Pests develop quicker, crops push ahead, and pressure can build before anything obvious shows up in the field. Crop scouting early to identify and monitor pest changes is important to determine if intervention will be needed.

Kentucky bluegrass is reshaping prairie rangelands. This invasive grass crowds out native plants and affects drought resilience.

Integrated grazing, fire and targeted strategies are key to protecting prairie ecosystems across western Canadian grassland landscapes.

Managing herbicide-resistant kochia often requires a long-term, multi-year approach. Follow these steps from @CanolaWatch to keep patches from taking over large areas of a field: https://t.co/eO3ijETX0D

“Fungicide applications remain an effective tool for reducing white mold levels if applied between the R1 and R3 growth stages.

Not all fungicide products are equally effective at controlling white mold, with Endura® remaining the most effective product if applied between the correct growth stages.”

What doesn’t kill a weed makes it stronger.

Weeds that survive a herbicide application may carry the genetics to survive future applications. Over time, repeated use of the same herbicide enables the resistant population to multiply.

To manage resistance, rotate your herbicide groups, scout after you spray, and manage resistant weeds before they seed.

Farmers have another flea beetle management tool to consider, with Cosayr® (chlorantraniliprole) now added to the list of registered flea beetle control options.

[Canadian IPM Toolbox @CdnIPMToolbox]

🌱 Crop stages change how much pest pressure a plant can handle.


A plant at emergence reacts very differently than one that is established, which is why timing decisions around growth stage tends to lead to better outcomes.

Good monitoring looks beyond presence.

It considers:

* what beneficial insects are present (resources like Field Heroes can help identify these)
* how populations are changing
* where pressure is concentrated
* how quickly things are shifting 

That is what turns observation into decision-making.

In greenhouse systems, pressure builds differently.

Stable conditions and a continuous crop presence mean even small pest populations changes can signal something larger developing. Monitoring tends to be more frequent because things move faster.

[Canadian IPM Toolbox @CdnIPMToolbox]

🐞 Flea beetles can quickly cause damage as the weather warms, and feeding often starts before plants are able to tolerate it.


That is why early scouting during emergence matters so much. You are not just checking for presence, you are trying to understand whether pressure is building or holding steady.

🔍 A single field scout shows what’s happening now.

Regular scouting shows where things are headed.

Scouting works best when it is consistent, not occasional, because pest populations change.
Tracking patterns over time is what drives smart intervention and long‑term pest management.

This is your reminder to keep an eye out for black cutworm feeding in fields. Saw some pretty significant damage and stand loss in a few fields in northern Washington County.

Have you spotted the pea leaf weevil?

Make sure you're also on the lookout for its predators - ground beetles and rove beetles.
