CITA agronomists teach biological control methods that cut pesticide costs without lowering yields.
Beneficial Insects as a First Line of Defence
Scouting Before Spraying

Building a Rotation Plan
Breaking the Pest Life Cycle
Alternating host and non-host crops between seasons denies pests a continuous food source and reduces carry-over populations.
