Insect pests and Field Heroes with Tyler Wist

Grasshoppers, flea beetles, lygus bugs, grasshoppers, crickets – Tyler Wist has seen all of these and more in recent years. Wist, a research scientist and field crop entomologist with Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada in Saskatoon, is the guest on this week's episode of Inputs, and unlike many, he's happy to see insects show up in field crops. In this conversation, he breaks down some of the research in his pipeline, his observations from the 2022 season, and chats about Field Heroes, the program that supports beneficial insects and pollinators.
