Scaling IPM for Year-Round Fight Club: Mealybug and Scale

We keep our greenhouses cozy 365/24/7; mealybug and scale are down for that. How do we fight a pest that hides so well, sneaks in on propagative materials, shows varied physical characteristics, and survives contacts like oils at multiple life stages? Let's talk about it! In this IPM Fight Club, we discuss IPM techniques and tricks for these notoriously difficult to manage pests. Whether you grow bedding plants, succulents, foliage, bromeliads or vegetable starts, you'll come away with ideas to fine-tune your strategies. We'll discuss representative species and life strategies; biopesticide options; conventional chemistries compatible with BCAs; conventional rescue options; program creation strategies; as well as tools and techniques supported by data from IR4 and university researchers.
