Michigan canola harvest 2025 wraps up
This year’s canola harvest has wrapped up across Michigan. Spotty rains through July provided canola enough of a window to dry down for harvest. Farmers have reported yields ranging from 30-60 bushels per acre. Generally, elevators are looking for canola to be 10% moisture or dryer, which can be tricky. Restrictions on grain dryness are especially strict in canola because drying options can be limited.
Come celebrate the new Building a Buzz exhibit at MSU
You are invited to join members of the Department of Entomology at Michigan State University and the beekeeping community to celebrate the opening of Building a Buzz: A History of Beekeeping in America. This exhibit features materials from the collection of the late Roger Hoopingarner, professor emeritus in the Department of Entomology.

Special Collection: Biology and Management of Arthropod Pests Associated with Hemp
Environmental Entomology is pleased to share a special collection of articles focused on the biology and management of emerging pests of industrial hemp, Cannabis sativa L. (THC <0.3%). Hemp, Cannabis sativa L., is one of the oldest industries in the world dating back to approx. 8,000 BC.
Steward Insecticide Registered in Tobacco
By Hannah Burrack A new insecticide, Steward, has recently been registered in tobacco. Steward, with the active ingredient indoxacarb, is labeled for tobacco budworm, hornworms, and tobacco splitworm and has a unique mode of action in tobacco. In addition to these labeled pests, we have also seen efficacy against tobacco flea beetle from early season foliar treatments.

Thrips Flight and TSWV Risk Assessment Report - 19 April 2018
This is the fourth thrips flight and TSWV risk assessment report. Read about why we are posting these reports and more in our first report here. Read more about tobacco thrips biology and TSWV transmission here. Starting this week, tobacco transplant is underway in North Carolina. Growers are reminded that the information presented here is intended to supplement, but not replace, farm specific predictions.
Pest Alert: Drosophila Damage Observed in South Carolina Strawberries
— Written By Hannah Burrack Last week, South Carolina cooperative extension personnel issued a pest alert for drosophila damage in strawberries. It is impossible to visually distinguish drosophila larvae between species, but if fruit appear otherwise undamaged (meaning they have no holes, rotted areas, or disease damage) except for a soft spot with larvae underneath, it is very likely that those larvae are spotted wing drosophila (SWD).
