146. #CropCareConvos - Practicing Pesticide Stewardship and Preventing Pesticide Resistance w/ Gretchen Pettis, PhD at BioSafe Systems

What is "pesticide stewardship"? How is it used to prevent "pesticide resistance" and achieve other IPM goals? What are the different kinds of pesticide resistance? How does this fit into the IPM paradigm? What are some suggested practices and general approaches to pest management that consider pesticide stewardship? Those are just some of the questions that arose organically when Robert & Charlie decided to hit record on a Zoom call with CropWalk advisor and R&D entomologist at BioSafe Systems, Gretchen V. Pettis, PhD. What are "modes of action" and "target sites" and what does it mean to rotate between them when applying #pesticides? When you do suggest chemical control options, can you tell us about the 3-tiered approach (moderation, saturation, multiple attack)? Are #biopesticides susceptible to resistance? What's up with the 2021 #cicada emergence on the east coast? #LetsTalkCrops ...Let's talk #PesticideResistance and the informed, intentional, and reserved use of pesticides... in #agriculture and beyond. There are so many insightful nuggets in this #podcast. Stream or download via the link in the comments and on https://www.croptalkmedia.com/listen
