Beneficial insects are an important part of any integrated pest management (IPM) plan. Lady beetles and green lacewings are just 2 that are common in Oregon.

Check out how @WilburEllisAg and @AeroTract partnered on this new green lacewing egg dispersal project!

Much of Oregon Agriculture is pollinated by managed bees. Whether that's hives, like we are used to seeing, or managed ground nesting bees (alfalfa!). A lot of work goes into making sure every last plant produces!

You can protect pollinators AND your crops!

Always remember the label is the law! Know and understand the restrictions before purchasing a pesticide. When it comes to insecticides, timing is key!

Pesticides approved by the U.S. EPA have to make it through one of the most rigorous scientific review processes in the world. OFS will continue to advocate for science-based policies related to the tools and technologies our land managers need in order to do their jobs.
