Pest monitoring in Saskatchewan: Why it is important and how you can get involved

The Saskatchewan Ministry of Agriculture (SMA) and its partners monitor for crop pests, including insects, diseases and weeds. The information from the monitoring is used to create forecast maps, guide research decisions, detect and track new or emerging pests, and support management decisions.
 
The SMA needs your help to build a robust pest-monitoring system. Your consent will allow staff to monitor pests on your property and will contribute to the health of the agriculture industry in Saskatchewan. Read more about the program here
