| The Bulletin provides timely information about pests and crops throughout Illinois. Our objective is to keep you informed about pest problems and crop development issues and to keep you current regarding the most effective, economic, and environmentally sound pest management strategies. The Bulletin is issued weekly throughout the crop-growing season (20 issues from early April to mid-August) and five additional times in the off-season. |
