Today, we're talking pests with University of Illinois' Kelly Estes.
Kelly coordinates the Illinois Cooperative Agricultural Pest Survey (CAPS) program which focuses on the early detection and surveillance of harmful or economically significant exotic plant pests, diseases, and weeds that have eluded first-line of defense inspections or have been identified as threats to U.S. agriculture and/or the environment.
Kelly and Wyffels Agronomy Manager Ryan Gentle discuss the Illinois insect trapping network and dive into updates on corn rootworm, Asian beetles, corn borer, and more.
