Abstract
Mobile Integrated Pest Management (Mobile-IPM) is a comprehensive tool to help Canadian farmers identify crop pests and implement effective IPM strategies. We focus on the major Canadian crops such as oilseeds, cereals, and pulses. Our goal is to help farmers avoid unnecessary pesticide treatments to minimize negative effects to the ecosystem, preserve pollinators and beneficial organisms, and minimize economic damage and maximize profits.Mobile-IPM will help you identify insects, weeds, and diseases, offer you up to date pest risk maps, and let you keep comprehensive field records. Additionally, each pest has detailed information on its biology and management, including economic injury levels and registered pesticides.
