As if the Western Canadian canola fields have not had enough challenges this year but now we also have to deal with the presence of the diamondback moth.  The diamondback moth is really causing havoc this season in comparison to prior years.

In this episode of the Canola School, I speak to University of Alberta, Associate Professor in Agricultural Entomology, Dr. Lloyd Dosdall about the impacts of the diamond back moth.  Dr. Dosdall discusses diamondback moth’s migration pattern, insecticide thresholds, natural predators, and identifying the larva.
