Cutworm Pests of Crops on the Canadian Prairies: Identification and Management Field Guide - Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada

As New; This guide is intended to help producers identify and control oil-seed and cereal crop cutworm pest species found on the Canadian Prairies. There are several pest cutworm species affecting Canadian Prairie crops. The key to successful cutworm management and limiting their impact is by first correctly identifying the species causing damage. Then, through an understanding of its biology, lifecycle, preferred habitats, behaviour, influences of climate and weather, and interaction with natural enemies and other factors, you can exploit its weaknesses by knowing when to control and only when it makes economic sense. Learning how to recognize damage, detect the species (scouting), and take advantage of natural processes are additional important elements in a management strategy.
