Managing Pests for Healthy Orchards, Abundant Crops

Staying on top of pest problems is critical to protect the quality and yield of your current crop in years to come. A good pest management program also helps prevent potential food safety issues while preventing crop inputs from becoming environmental issues.

To ensure your pest management program is environmentally responsible:

    • Monitor both pest and beneficial insects and mites and spray only when treatments are necessary
    • Do not treat for pests as long as populations remain below economic thresholds
    • Use effective, environmentally friendly and less toxic materials whenever possible
    • Use cultural and biological controls rather than pesticides whenever possible
    • Avoid broad-spectrum insecticides unless pests exceed treatment thresholds and effective environmentally friendly insecticides are not available
