GRUB BAG 1.7 Tracking New and Emerging Pests

New and invasive pests can pose significant risks to Indiana agriculture, landscapes, and natural resources, making early detection an important part of effective pest management. In this session, Dr. Alicia Kelley will overview the Cooperative Agricultural Pest Survey (CAPS) program, highlight how targeted surveillance helps track pests of concern, and discuss what Extension educators should know about recognizing and reporting unusual insect activity. Join us for a practical conversation about how early detection, monitoring, and communication help protect Indiana from emerging pest.
