Each season brings new challenges and pest problems in crop production. One way to stay informed and effectively manage any problem is to sign up for the North Dakota State University Extension Service’s weekly “Crop and Pest Report.”

“Each issue of the report contains valuable information about insect and disease problems, pest alerts, integrated pest management strategies, pesticide updates, agronomy and fertility issues, horticulture problems, reports from the NDSU Plant Diagnostic Laboratory, important NDSU Extension meetings and a weather outlook,” says Janet Knodel, NDSU Extension entomologist and co-editor of the report. “Local reports also are included on agronomic and pest issues and crop development from agronomists located at the NDSU Research Extension Centers across the state.”

To subscribe for the free email version of the report, go to http://www.ag.ndsu.edu/cpr/.

Subscribers can view the newsletter by receiving the color PDF format in Adobe Acrobat or by visiting the website. The email version (PDF) is sent every Thursday morning during the field season.

If you were signed up last year to receive the electronic copy, you do not need to subscribe again.

If you have any questions on subscribing, contact Aimee Thapa at (701) 231-8363 or email aimee.thapa@ndsu.edu.
