We were onsite this week in Anaheim, CA at the 50th California Association of Pest Control Advisers (CAPCA) Agri-Expo and Conference. Our California TELONE™ Specialist, Brian Hegland, was there answering PCA and grower questions about nematode management solutions with TELONE™. "The mission of CAPCA is to facilitate the success of the PCA and to represent its 3000 members who provide pest management consultation for the production of food, fiber and ornamental industries of California. Pest Control Advisers (PCAs) are licensed professional production consultants who serve California agriculture and horticulture producers. PCAs specialize in pest management, but they are also an important resource to producers in a wide range of production concerns related to plant health. A PCA is licensed by the State of California to engage in the following activities: -Provide pest management recommendations, which must be in writing. -Hold self as an authority on any agricultural use. -Solicit sales of products or services for agricultural use" We are proud to support this CAPCA event and the ongoing educational opportunities it provides CA Pest Control Advisors.

🌱 Harnessing Growing Degree Days for Effective Pest Control Pest management is a critical component of successful farming. Integrating Growing Degree Days (GDD) into your pest control strategies can lead to more effective and sustainable practices. Here are three key insights: 🐛 1. Predicting Pest Life Cycles: GDD are invaluable in forecasting the development stages of pests. By understanding when pests are most likely to emerge and reproduce, you can time your interventions to disrupt their life cycles most effectively, preventing outbreaks before they start. 🌿 2. Optimizing Chemical Applications: Utilize GDD data to apply pesticides at the most critical times, maximizing their effectiveness. This targeted approach not only saves costs but also reduces the environmental impact of excess pesticide use. 🐞 3. Integrating Biological Controls: GDD can help synchronize the introduction of natural predators with peak pest populations. This timing ensures that biological control agents are most effective, enhancing their ability to manage pest populations naturally. 🔍 Embrace GDD as a tool to refine your pest management techniques and boost your crop protection strategies. For more insights on integrating GDD into your agricultural practices, visit degreedays.app. 💬 Interested in eco-friendly pest control? Share how you’ve used GDD in your pest management strategies in the comments! #PestControl #Agriculture #SustainableFarming #PrecisionAgriculture #AgTech

Did you know that effective pest management goes beyond just addressing visible pests? Our growers utilize an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) program in tandem with our PCA team, who plays a crucial role in ensuring the health and quality of our crops. Their expertise allows us to anticipate and mitigate potential issues before they become problems, ensuring consistent quality and safety from field to table. In this photo, you can see our Organic Artisan Romaine thriving alongside Sweet Alyssum, an example of our integrated pest management approach. Sweet Alyssum acts as a natural pest deterrent, promoting a healthier ecosystem, bringing the beneficial bugs to keep the bad bugs out. Our PCAs work closely with our growers, walking the fields daily to assess crop conditions, address any potential issues early, and implement strategies that align with both safety and quality standards. The proactive and preventative approach of our IPM program not only supports our commitment to sustainability but also helps us maintain high quality standards that we and our customers expect 🌱👏 #taproduce #freshproduce #romaine #farming #agriculture #sustainableagriculture #beneficialbugs #soilhealth

The relevance of sticky traps in pest monitoring and management is gaining more attention nowadays, and the explicit reason for this trend is the results that sticky traps deliver in IPM practices and other pest control strategies. However, there are a few things that should be well acknowledged and analysed while opting to use sticky traps in your pest control plan. The most important parameters that distinguish a supreme quality sticky trap from the mediocre ones are mainly the quality and quantity of the glue used, the physical properties of the materials used, and the cleanliness of the manufacturing unit. Awareness about the product and the ability to distinguish it on a clear-cut quality basis are always important to make the right product choice. Thanks to Bioorgo for sharing some valuable inputs on creating this content. #stickytraps #sustainableagriculture #ipm #pestcontrol #horticulture #agriculture #indianagriculture

Integrated pest management combines strategies--such as natural predators, resistant crops, and pesticides--to provide sustainable, cost-effective pest control. Since 1996, northeastern states have joined forces with the USDA and EPA to coordinate IPM. See their impacts: buff.ly/4cUaQl1 #NPMM

Sustainable Pest Control for Healthier Crops! 🌱 In modern agriculture, finding eco-friendly solutions to protect crops from pests is essential. At our facility, we prioritize Integrated Pest Management (IPM) techniques that reduce chemical inputs while maintaining crop health. Today, we're introducing three key biological control agents from Koppert that play a vital role in our pest management strategy: Swirski-Mite (Amblyseius swirskii): A predatory mite used to combat whiteflies and thrips, offering a natural solution to two of the most common pests in controlled environments. Spidex Vital (Phytoseiulus persimilis): A specialized predator of spider mites, helping us maintain a pest-free environment for our crops. Ercal (Eretmocerus eremicus): A parasitoid wasp that effectively targets whiteflies, reducing infestations with precision. Swirski Ulti-Mite sachets is also a fantastic tool for easy and uniform distribution of Amblyseius swirskii in our greenhouse. These solutions align perfectly with our commitment to sustainable agriculture, ensuring high-quality produce while protecting the environment. By incorporating biological control agents into our operations, we're paving the way for a future where farming is both productive and environmentally responsible. #SustainableFarming #BiologicalControl #IntegratedPestManagement #AgricultureInnovation #Koppert #HealthyCrops #Sustainability

Protecting your crop field against pests and diseases is vitally important in maximizing crop quality and yield. Conventional methods of crop protection have solely relied on the use of agro-chemicals. However, in recent years a new, more effective system has emerged: Integrated Pest management (IPM). What is IPM? IPM is a decision-based process that involves the coordinated use of multiple tactics for optimizing the control of all classes of pests in a way that is both ecologically, and economically sound. IPM has four pillars: 1. Chemical control 2. Biological control 3. Cultural control 4. Genetic host plant resistance Successful pest management is vital in sustainable crop production. It relies on: 1. Monitoring and pest identification: - Regular monitoring and pest population identification through the use of traps, visual inspections, and other monitoring techniques to assess pest presence. 2. Threshold determination: - Deciding the necessity of intervention through establishing economic thresholds. 3. Education and training - Farmers, pest control professionals and stakeholders should be educated on the principles of IPM through proper training highlighting the benefits and challenges. There are levels of IPM integration: 1. Low level IPM: - Basic sanitation - Scouting - Threshold use - Using narrow spectrum insecticides 2. Medium level IPM: - Preventative measures - Removing or limiting favourable pest habitats - Enhancing beneficial insects 3. High level IPM (Biointensive IPM) - Relying on non-chemical control - Focus on conservation of habitat and beneficials - Focus on multiple pests Why is IPM relevant? Excessive and sole reliance on chemical pesticides has shown time and time again to end up producing resistant pests. That is why Kogan and Bajwa (1999) developed the concept of the insecticide treadmill. A new product is developed, and as insects become resistant to the product and more is needed. This creates more pest resistance and consequently, more product applications until the pest is completely resistant. That is when a new product must be developed, restarting the process. #IPM #integratedpestmanagement #cropprotection #pestmanagement #sustainableagriculture
