Check out the new Michigan State/Ohio State Field Crops Insect Pest Management Guide

Chris DiFonzo (Michigan State) and Kelley Tilmon (Ohio State)

 

The newly completed Michigan State/Ohio State Field Crops Insect Pest Management Guide is available for online use and download at https://aginsects.osu.edu/sites/aginsects/files/imce/MSU%20-%20OSU%20Insect%20IPM%20Guide.pdf

 

This publication contains a series of chapters with information on biology, damage, management recommendations, and insecticides related to insect pests in field crops in Michigan and Ohio. Chapters cover field corn, soybean, wheat and other small grains, alfalfa and grass forage, and (for Michigan growers) dry beans and sugar beet. Each chapter stands alone, focusing on a particular crop.

 

In the preparation of this guide, we checked state databases and consulted labels for each of the pesticides listed in the crop chapters; we made every effort to include correct information and to list most of the commonly-used products for Michigan and Ohio. However, labels do change over time. Always read the labels of the products you use to reconfirm application rate, precautions, PPE, pre-harvest intervals, and other key pieces of information prior to spraying. 

 

Users are the best source of feedback on this guide. If you see information that is not correct or complete,  please contact us so that we can update the guide accordingly.
