Provincial Insect Pest Reports (May 17, 2018; Wk 02)

Provincial entomologists provide insect pest updates throughout the growing season so we have attempted to link to their most recent information: 

Manitoba's Insect and Disease Update for 2018 will be posted soon. Watch for updates prepared by John Gavloski.

Saskatchewan's Crop Production News for 2018 will be posted soon. Watch for updates prepared by James Tansey and Carter Peru.  

Watch for Alberta Agriculture and Forestry's Call of the Land for insect pest updates from Scott Meers. The most recent Call of the Land (posted on May 15, 2018) highlights the importance of wireworms in field crops and describes how growers can collaborate with AAFC entomologists (Dr. Haley Catton) by baiting grain fields in an effort to obtain wireworm specimens to further their research efforts.
