NEW PUBLICATION!! ⬇️ INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT (IPM) FOR SQUASH BUG FOR HOME GARDENS AND SMALL-SCALE GROWERS (http://bit.ly/3Ir0mMw): For over 120 years, farmers and home gardeners have been battling the squash bug (Anasa tristis), a major economic pest of cucurbits (e.g., squash, pumpkins, gourds, cucumbers, melons, etc.) in New Mexico. Adult and nymph (immature stage) squash bugs damage plants through feeding and vectoring (transmitting) plant pathogens, which results in yield declines and plant death. Squash bugs are resilient and can reproduce in large numbers that can quickly overwhelm a production system or garden. This short guide outlines best management practices that producers and home gardeners can adopt for squash bug integrated pest management (IPM).
