Are your crops protected "right off the hop" this spring?

of AgronomyTV, we talk with John Gavloski, provincial entomologist with Manitoba Agriculture, out in Carman, Man. John breaks down exactly what insects growers should be scouting for as seeding gets underway, how to identify early-season crop damage, and when your seed treatments will start to wear off.

We cover key pests affecting canola, cereals, pulse crops, and alfalfa, including critical scouting windows and remedial management strategies.
