Integrated Pest Management in Brassica crops: video series
The Western Port Catchment Landcare Network (WPCLN) has released a series of videos on Integrated Pest Management (IPM) in organic brassica crops.
The short videos cover the fundamental processes of implementing IPM in a growing operation, and help growers (with a specific focus on those who grow brassicas) to understand how using IPM can benefit their crops.
Each video in the series explains a different area of IPM, including:
- Developing an IPM Strategy – Identifying Pests,
- Biological Controls – Predators and Parasites,
- Cultural Controls,
- Sprays, and
- Monitoring.
To view these videos, please click the individual links above, or see the WPCLN YouTube channel.

If you’re interested in (or currently using) IPM on your farm and you’re eager to learn more about how pesticides can affect their populations of beneficial insects, click through ot learn more about a levy-funded project investigating the impact of chemistry on beneficials.
This collection of videos was produced by WPCLN through funding from the Australian Government’s National Landcare Program.
