Reduced-risk strategy for foliar insect pests of prairie field crops / Pesticide Risk Reduction Program, Pest Management Centre. : A52-192/2015E-PDF
"This report summarizes the support from the Pesticide Risk Reduction Program (PRRP) towards developing reduced-risk alternatives to manage foliar insect pests of field crops, with a focus on the prairie region. Some of the outcomes resulting from this work may be applicable to other regions of Canada where similar crops are grown. A strategy to address these pests has been developed in collaboration with provincial crop specialists, research scientists, and industry stakeholders. The most pressing crop/pest issues were selected, solutions were discussed and prioritized, and an action plan was put into place. Selection of solutions was driven by the goal to achieve viable pest management while reducing risks associated with the use of insecticides, including pest resistance to these products.To date, the PRRP has funded 12 projects addressing cereals, canola and alfalfa to implement this strategy. The pest species targeted for the above crops are aphids, cereal leaf beetle, Lygus bugs, cabbage seedpod weevil, and alfalfa weevil."--Exec. Summary, p. 3.
