All you need to know to succeed with pest management in lucerne.
This chapter outlines the principle of integrated pest management.
Not all living creatures in a lucerne crop or pasture are pests.
Many insects, spiders and mites live in the lucerne by feeding upon such
as aphids and caterpillars.
In the ideal situation, pests and predators live in balance, with
neither one dominating.
There is no doubt that pests need to be
controlled on occasions, regardless of the incidence of beneficials.
The decision to utilise the presence of beneficials to control pests
is one made with the benefit of experience.
Regular, accurate sampling is essential for making good treatment decisions.
