These informative advisories are written by John Palumbo, Research Scientist, stationed at the Yuma Agricultural Research Center. Their purpose is to address timely vegetable production issues. Each advisory includes a production update and pest management update, including data from Dr. Palumbo’s sticky trap network. Along with a snapshot of production and pest management conditions, these advisories provide detailed management information on chronic and new insect pests affecting vegetable crops in our state.

These concise, user-friendly advisories are posted, approximately every two weeks on the Arizona Crop Information web Site (ACIS). Just go to:

and click on the “Advisories” button.

If you’d like to be notified by e-mail when a new advisory is written, you can ask to be signed up on our ACIS Updates e-mail list. Approximately twice a month you will receive a short e-mail message which will inform you of any new information that has been added to the ACIS site, including the Desert Vegetable Advisories, and any upcoming events that may be of interest to you (including workshops where CEU’s can be earned). If you would like to be added to this list just send an e-mail to jsjones@ag.arizona.edu requesting your addition.
