Integrated insect UNIVERSITY PARK - Integrated insect control, combining limited amounts of an insecticide with the use of natural enemies of harm ful insects, can increase profits in farming. Such integrated pest control will be described during Ag Progress Days August 23 to 25.

Using no insecticide (to conserve beneficial insects) and applying lower than normal quantities of soil systemic insecticide, the Penn State scientists produced yields equaling those from standard plots using standard insecticides. Visitors to Ag Progress Days will leam how this method of integrated pest management can reduce the grower’s insect control ll:OOA.M. Machinery control to costs and increase profits per acre. Another experiment, to determine the impact of natural enemies on aphid populations, will be featured - along with the effect aphid populations have on plant growth.
