SUMMARY:Webinar: Resistance Management
DESCRIPTION:This webinar gives growers a real-life example of how good stewardship and resistance management benefit them and their industry. This webinar also provides extension officers with valuable skills for driving engagement and promoting industry-minded behaviour amongst growers. \nThis event is open to all growers\, extension officers and interested parties and is FREE to attend. \nDominic Reisig (North Carolina State University\, USA) is an extension specialist and researcher supporting broadacre row crops\, including corn\, cotton\, peanuts\, and soybeans. He studies insect pest management and how to slow resistance to Bt crops. \nDrawing on U.S. experience with Bt corn and cotton and caterpillar pests such as corn earworm\, Dominic will outline the resistance problem\, why stewardship is essential\, and how behaviour-change approaches were used to shift practices. The session will include what was recommended\, what worked (and what didn’t)\, and lessons relevant beyond broadacre cropping.
