In this episode of Idaho Seed Podcasts, we highlight how wireless scopes and digital magnification tools are changing the way farmers and crop consultants scout for tiny, yet costly, pests. Drawing from a University of Idaho Extension research project led by a UI researcher and Extension specialist, we cover:
- How wireless scopes work and how to use them in the field
- The economic and time-saving benefits of visual tech in insect scouting
- Tips for detecting hard-to-spot pests like mites, thrips, aphids, and whiteflies
- Real-world examples of how Idaho growers are using this tech in potatoes and other crops
- Ways to integrate tech tools into your current IPM and field scouting strategies
