Episode 31: Managing issues after heavy May rains and early-season pests in 2023
(2023-05-16) Nicolai, Dave; Naeve, Seth
Dave Nicolai and Dr. Seth Naeve talk about agronomic issues from the recent heavy rains in early May 2023 and early-season insect issues with Bruce Potter, IPM Extension Specialist based out of Lamberton, MN.

Episode 28: Special episode: Early 2023 planting and agronomy updates
(2023-04-25) Nicolai, Dave; Coulter, Jeff; Naeve, Seth
It's late April in 2023 and it's still wet and difficult to get field work done across the state. It's a bit too early to discuss much about pests, but as a lead-in to future early-season pest issues that could result from this late spring, it's important to look at agronomic issues related to planting when soils are still cold and wet. Dave Nicolai chats with U of M agronomists Drs. Jeff Coulter and Seth Naeve about current field conditions and when to plant corn and soybeans.
Episode 27: 50th Anniversary of IPM: The history of IPM and adapting to invasive new pests
(2022-12-28) Wright, Bob; Hanson, Anthony
Dr. Bob Wright with the University of Nebraska discusses with Dr. Anthony Hanson how integrated got its start and Dr. Hanson goes through how we have adapted IPM plans to new invasive pests, such as soybean aphid. The two segments were produced as part of a 50th anniversary of IPM podcast supported by the USDA, National Institute of Food and Agriculture and the North Central IPM Center hosted at: https://feeds.buzzsprout.com/2039018. The IPM Podcast will be going on break in 2023 to focus on producing IPM updates for UMN Extension's Strategic Farming programs. You can contact Anthony Hanson at hans4022@umn.edu with IPM questions in Minnesota.

(2021-10-22) Knodel, Janet

Episode 22: What are your neighbors doing for pest management?
(2021-07-09) Stahl, Liz
Liz Stahl, U of M Regional Extension Educator based out of Worthington, discusses what she has learned from the annual IPM Assessment, a survey of growers across the state about their pest management use and concerns. Perceptions on what neighbors are doing can influence grower decisions, though one farmer after seeing this survey data remarked, "Wow, I thought all my neighbors were using fungicide on their corn." Often times, growers are using less pesticide than we might perceive.
