Many no-tillers say slugs are becoming the most challenging pest they face. John Tooker will explain the challenges with managing these mollusks in no-tilled crops and address promising slug-control strategies, including the role cover crops may play in slug management.

Integrated Pest Management is more than just knowing what to spray and when, John Tooker says. The Penn State University entomologist says no-tillers need to think more broadly about their approach to insect control to consider how use of insecticides impact soil health, onfarm diversity of beneficial insects and whole farming systems.
