Primarily intended for NRCS staff, this webinar will focus on enhanced IPM technologies, including precision application equipment and variable rate & smart sprayer technologies to help staff better serve our customers.

Technology continues to provide opportunities for precision application of pesticides, leading to reduced volumes of products used and reduced potential of pesticide losses to the environment. Alternatives to pesticides will also be presented. Join us as we discuss some of the latest technologies available and how it relates to implementing NRCS CPS Pest Management Conservation System (Code 595).

Pesticide application techniques have improved, and new ones continue to be developed. Precision sprayers, aerial applications including drones, robots use artificial intelligence to detect non-crop pests and apply a direct treatment of pesticides, lasers, heat etc. These options have evolved pest management options from: total farm or field prescriptions or “programs” to: plant by plant evaluations and treatments. Prevention, Avoidance, and Monitoring for pests and applying the most effective treatment while reducing environmental hazards is the hallmark of NRCS Pest Management Conservation System CPS Code 595. Learn some of the latest high tech management strategies, plus a reminder of existing important strategies.
