Insect pests are a fact of life each season; the big question is which ones are going to pose a greater problem than others. While it's not possible to know everything before the growing season kicks off in earnest, there are factors already at play which can provide some indication of what to watch for.

In this episode, Eastern editor Alex Barnard chats with Tracey Baute, field crop entomologist with the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, discuss top insect pests from 2022, pests to watch for in 2023, and what to know about the loss of products containing lambda-cyhalothrin.
