sound Integrated Pest Management program for your farm and use online tools to
assist you predict pest outbreaks as well as give you a heads up of possible
pest outbreaks.
This
year will likely be challenging to all farmers in the Midwest, given the mild
winter and early heat spell, triggering perennials to bloom too early and
allowing overwintering insects and disease to survive in the soil. Beth Bishop,

predict insect flights as well as steps toward a sound Integrated Pest
Management program for your farm. IPM model plants will be shared for three
model crops; corn, apples and tomatoes.
