It’s said the first cut is the deepest – for forages, it’s also the longest in terms of plant development or harvest interval and giving pesky insects the opportunity to snack on the growing crop.

In recent years, some producers have gotten accustomed to throwing in some foliar fungicide for leaf disease control when applying herbicides – or applying in a tank-mix with a plant growth regulator.

As a young girl growing up in Pakistan, Christine Noronha always had dreams of being a scientist – and an obsession with insects. Noronha, now an entomologist with AAFC based in P.E.I., has devoted her life to the study of entomology, and knows that the smallest pests can have the biggest impacts on yields, livelihoods and the environment. Her research on alternative methods to pest control has been embraced and studied across Canada and beyond. But beyond the bugs, Noronha is also passionate about guiding students and young scientists, particularly young women and people new to Canada. She tells her story in our first AgAnnex Talks IWCA podcast episode.
