Ag Days Educating About Farm Safety

 
The 41st Annual Manitoba Ag Days, taking place at the Keystone Centre in Brandon.
 
Farm safety will be featured again this year, with 10 companies and organizations showcasing some aspect of farm safety at their booth.
 
Media Coordinator Andrea Guthrie explains why promoting farm safety at the show is so important.
 
"I think it's something that we all need to think of everyday," she said. "We all need to keep it in the back of our minds, that we need to be safe. Whether it's remembering these things and have a safety protocol, at the end of the day we don't want anyone of our family, friends or employees to get hurt on the job."

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.
