Listen "8. Arthropods on the farm: entomological insights for integrated pest management"
Episode Synopsis
Episode produced by Grace Bowen-MacLean, Andre Sanchez, and Amenda Hong
In this episode of Sync into the Earth we investigate the impact of invasive species on Canadian Agriculture and discuss management strategies being employed, as well as the aspects of integrated pest management in Canada. We explore three different invasive species: a trickily managed pest, the spider mite; a current focus of pest managers, the tarnished plant bug; and a pest on the radars of managers because of its potential threat, the spotted lanternfly. Joining us in this conversation was Dr. Sean
McCann, a research scientist of the Agriculture and Agri Food Division in Newfoundland specializing in entomology. We speak to him about his research and
about these three invasive pests. Our talk ranges from technology and novel management strategies, to nerding out over some of the amazing skills and adaptations arthropods have that add to the challenge of management. We hope this episode is inviting for any listener to enjoy learning a bit more about an underexplored topic.
