The LAEVELD SCOUT™ series is authored by leading crop protection experts with the support of numerous key representatives from the industry. The guides are a must-have item for anybody in the agricultural industry.
Responsible pest management starts with scouting in the field to ensure the early and correct identification of the pest and to find the appropriate solution. Acting proactively prevents costly mistakes and disruptive intervention efforts later in the season.
The guides illustrate the biology of pests as well as other comparable damage symptoms. Monitoring guidelines and general control strategies are explained and highlighted with colourful illustrations and striking photographs.
