The first step to effectively implement integrated pest control is for growers and advisers to be able to identify insect pests and their natural enemies. Accurate identification will help reduce production and quality losses caused by pests, minimise chemical applications and environmental problems, as well as provide trade benefits.

CESAR Consultants have versatile, well-trained entomologists with a broad taxonomic grounding who are able to readily identify insects. Information on biology, habits, plant damage and control is available on request. We also identify non-insect arthropods, such as mites, spiders and slugs. Please see our Information Sheet if you would like to send samples for identification.
