Denis Crawford is a legendary Australian entomologist, and in this episode he was generous enough to walk us through some of the biggest offenders with regards to insect pests. We discuss sucking, chewing, boring, leaf-mining and gall-producing pests as well as Integrated Pest Management (IPM) and the importance of biodiversity. It's a great chat, give it a listen!EPISODE LINKSGarden Pests, Diseases and Good Bugs by Denis Crawford: https://www.amazon.com.au/Garden-Pests-Diseases-Good-Bugs/dp/0733331882Backyard Insects: https://www.amazon.com.au/Backyard-Insects-Updated-Paul-Horne/dp/0522869106FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL MEDIATwitter: @PlantsGrowHere / Facebook: @PlantsGrowHerePodcast - Join our Facebook group!VISIT OUR WEBSITEwww.PlantsGrowHere.comLET'S WORK TOGETHERAre you in the industry or an enthusiast with something of value to share?
