Lygus bugs, pre-harvest intervals, and more
Weather synopsis – Below is the Accumulated Precipitation for the Growing Season
Insect Development and Simulation Outputs – Model outputs are now completed for the 2014 growing season. Thank you to the dedicated AAFC-Saskatoon Staff who compiled data, generated and mapped the output data, plus provided weekly summaries for the various insect pest species during the 2014 season!
Lygus Bugs (L. lineolaris, L. keltoni, L. borealis, L. elisus) – Remember, hot dry weather favors the buildup of lygus bug populations. The economic threshold for lygus bugs in canola is applied at late flower and early pod stages.
