Foundation for Arable Research

An excellent resource for all farmers considering using, or already using, IPM on their farm. The guide has been developed using the experience and knowledge generated from IPM research and extension programmes funded by MAF SFF and FAR. The programmes have developed sustainable, long-term approaches to managing key pests of wheat in New Zealand. The guide has key sections on the beneficial insects, cultural and chemical control and, of course, the pests and how to monitor for them. It will prove to be an excellent and enduring extension booklet for all farmers and I congratulate the authors for having the vision to develop and deliver the booklet in a complete and informative but simple format to benefit all arable farmers.

A valueable tool that all maize growers will use during crop scouting to enable more effective weed control for improved profitability.
