Combining In Southeast Saskatchewan Nears The 100% Mark

 Combining In Southeast Saskatchewan Nears The 100% Mark
 
Combining is estimated at 90 to 100 percent complete in the southeast part of Saskatchewan and harvest is still expected to continue for several more weeks.
 
Sherri Roberts, the regional crop specialist in Weyburn, says yields are wide ranging but better than expected in many parts of the southeast.
 
She says the area had some rain last week but more is needed.
 
“I would like to see in the next couple of weeks, at least, a couple of inches, if that’s possible,”Roberts said. “Because going into fall this dry, it’s going to hurt the fall cereals. And we want to have as much moisture supply as we can going into the spring.”

Spider Mite Control with Predatory Mites (Neoseiulus californicus)

Video: Spider Mite Control with Predatory Mites (Neoseiulus californicus)

The predatory mite Neoseiulus californicus is an effective natural enemy of various species of spider mites, including the two-spotted spider mite (Tetranychus urticae). As a key player in biological pest control, this predator helps growers protect their crops sustainably.

How does Neoseiulus californicus work?

•Specializes in targeting the larval and nymphal stages of spider mites.

•Also consumes spider mite eggs, ensuring population control.

•Detects prey through webbing and leaf damage rather than sight.

•Feeds by sucking out the contents of its prey.

Why use Neoseiulus californicus for spider mite control?

•Highly adaptable to different environments, including warm and dry conditions.

•Works as both a preventive and curative solution for spider mite infestations.

•Complements other predatory mites, such as Phytoseiulus persimilis, for integrated pest management (IPM).

•A natural, sustainable alternative to chemical pesticides.
