If you attended our pest guide webinar you learned that we implemented plenty of improvements and standardization over the winter to improve your experience with our pest guides. We will continue to improve this process and are striving to make the guides available earlier each year. I apologize for this year's delay.
Accessing the Online Pest Guides
Main website: Our pest guides are available online on our website (no login required): https://www.perennia.ca/pest-guides/
Farm Data Tools Platform: The pest guide is also available online at our platform Farm Data Tools through your user account: https://www.farmdatatools.perennia.ca/. I encourage everyone to sign up for a free account to access our growing list of free tools (weather dashboard, farm weather map, growing degree days, corn heat units, pest guides, interactive soil survey map, cover crop selection, pomeblight - paid subscription).
Here are the suggested benefits of using the online pest guide format:

- Filter by organic or conventional

- Hosted on a database that is efficient for Perennia staff to update
- Option for users to export the information to Excel if desired
