NatureFresh Farms develops unconventional pest management methods
A pest outbreak in the fall of 2016 left all bell pepper growers in the Leamington, Canada, area highly concerned. Pepper Weevil (Anthonomus Eugenii) is an unconventional pest that a regular integrated pest management (IPM) system cannot maintain and cannot be spotted by humans. Once the pest spreads, it is essentially a death sentence for the crop.
That’s why Cam Lyons, research and development and IPM technician at NatureFresh Farms, Canada, conducted countless development sessions.
