This year the
editorial staff contemplated what is the one thing that growers have in common
regardless of the crops they are producing and how they are growing them. The
answer? Pests. This year
GMPRO
is focusing on the Most unWanted Pests, both insects and diseases that cause
growers the most problems.
To determine
which pests growers consider the Most unWanted, the editorial staff surveyed
commercial growers, plant pathologists, entomologists and representatives of
pest-control companies. The votes have been tabulated and we’re looking forward
to presenting you with the results.
Starting
this month,
GMPRO
presents the pest that was voted by growers and control specialists to be No.
12. Over the next 12 months we'll count down to the No. 1 Most unWanted Pest.
Which
insects and diseases do you consider to be the Most unWanted Pests? We know you
have a list. Send your list of Most unWanted Pests to
GMPRO
editor David Kuack at dkuack@branchsmith.com or fax (817) 882-4121.
