From Bedbugs to Grasshoppers: An Entomologist’s Take on BRIX and Insects

Season 6, Episode 1

The Gateway Research Organization welcomes Dr. Tom Dykstra, as he joins host Steve Kenyon for a casual Wednesday Night Networking session exploring plant health, BRIX measurements, and how water and nutrition affect pest pressure. Topics include grasshopper outbreaks, dung beetle activity, insect olfaction, dragonflies, all while mixing science and the farmer experience. As always there is some Q&A before the session went into an open unrecorded session for deeper discussion and peer networking.

If you want to get in on these Virtual Networking Sessions live, they happen every second Wednesday at 6pm MST from late October to mid-April. Register for free at Wednesday Night Networking.
