Dialing in on greenhouse pest control

Our exclusive research reveals how North American growers oversee insect pest management, from insect pressures and IPM programs to scouting and budgets.

This summer, Greenhouse Management magazine surveyed North American growers about administering pest management plans, which pests are the most problematic, scouting protocols, pest control budgets and much more. Our survey of more than 315 growers revealed that three-quarters of respondents have an integrated pest management plan and most review IPM plans once a year; more than half said their crews scout for insect pests daily; and 60% practice preventive measures compared to curative.

Editor’s note: Due to rounding, not all percentages add up to 100.
