Wouldn't it be great to screen pest populations for insecticide resistance to best select your last-resort chemical control?!
Well, it's in the works! In this episode of #CropCareConvos, Bobby Shearer is joined by CropTalk Content Collaborator Matthew Gates for a conversation with Dr. Scott Ferguson from EntoGenomics, who is developing a molecular test kit for common pests starting with the serpentine leafminer (Lyriomyza trifolii) and specific the insecticide group. They discuss what #PesticideResistance is, how it happens, why it matters, why this new test is important, and how the test works.
