Today we are talking about integrated pest management with independent agrologist Rob Dunn. Rob will discuss his field approach of to help build soil and crop health, the importance of bees to your bottom line, and how beneficial insects can help tip the scale towards winning the battle against the bad guys. Rob iterates that it’s not about eliminating the use of pesticides but to reduce our dependency on them while also building a larger arsenal of tools that you can use for different pest and disease encounters.
Rob Dunn is a cropping systems specialist at Farm Wise based out of Lethbridge and a member of the Alberta Institute of Professional Agrologists.
