Anyone who has readThe Hungry Caterpillarwill remember the insect’s rampage of culinary discovery comes to an end on the seventh day, when he eats a leaf to cure his self-inflicted stomach ache.
Chewing pests are difficult to control; resistance to chemicals is an issue and they’re capable of increasing their populations at an alarming speed. Two of the worst offenders are the aforementioned beet army worm (Spodoptera exigua) and the golden twin-spot moth (Chrysodeixis chalcites). In this episode, we explore these different chewing pests and how our new insecticide, Mainspring, can help you combat the damage to your crops.
