As both a contributor and user of the Crop Protection Network, I’ve found it to be a valuable resource that helps ensure both I and my Missouri clientele can stay easily up-to-date with the latest pest management information. Easy-to-read graphics, videos, social media posts and tools developed through the network can inform farmers’ crop protection decisions and guide future research.

The Crop Protection Network provides non-biased, science-based information about relevant agronomic practices and concepts. Agriculture is full of people promoting their product or concept, usually tied to making a sale. Having a science-based resource to fact-check and learn about products and practices is extremely valuable. The tools, publications, and resources are invaluable to those wanting to stay up to date on all things agronomy!

All of our staff have the Crop Protection Network bookmarked for ready access to help customers. It is an important authoritative resource to find expertly written articles and other content created by subject matter experts. It is a credible and reliable source for us to perform proper diagnostic, evaluation, and treatment recommendations with a high degree of confidence.
