Protecting pollinatiors

摘要

Making insecticide decisions that best protect pollinators is now commonplace, but growers should also keep bees in mind when it comes to spraying fungicides to manage bloom-time disease. "How do we minimize harm to bees without compromising pest anddisease management? That's the big question," said Julianna Wilson, tree fruit outreach specialist for the Michigan State University entomology department. She spoke about protecting pollinators from pesticides at the Great Lakes Fruit, Vegetable, and Farm Market Expo in December.
