As a grape and tree fruit crop consultant in the Niagara peninsula, Ryan Brewster is counselling his clients how to move away from some pesticides that are harsh on beneficial insects. One cultural method is to spray summer oils. Another is to plant late-flowering-cover crops between the rows to attract beneficial insects that eat bad bugs.

Karen Davidson, editor of The Grower is "Digging Deeper' in to the March 2022 cover story  THE RIGHT CHEMISTRY MAKES GOOD NEIGHBOURS and speaking with Ryan. His counsel includes how to integrate these methods for both insects and disease.
