You’re Spending Too Much on Pesticides — Here’s Why

Many farmers lose money every season through unnecessary blanket spraying that increases costs and builds pesticide resistance over time. In this video, we explain how Economic Thresholds help determine when spraying is actually necessary and how better scouting practices reduce wasted applications. Learn how pest population monitoring supports smarter decision-making, lowers chemical usage, and improves long-term pest management strategies. We also explore how tracking spray history, costs, and field outcomes can reveal hidden inefficiencies affecting profitability. Discover how CYOL pest monitoring systems and spray cost tracking tools help farmers make data-driven crop protection decisions. Key message: “Spray smarter, not more.”
