This webinar will focus on how cover crops can create habitat for pests like voles and slugs. It is Part 1 of a 2 part series.
Pest problems like voles, slugs and army worms tend to be cyclical in nature and can have dramatic impacts when there's an outbreak. Understanding the role that cover crops and no-till can play in creating the conditions for these pest to thrive can help producers make management decisions.
