New Online Tool Helps Growers Identify Wildlife Pests

The University of California Integrated Pest Management department has launched an online tool to assist growers in identifying vertebrate wildlife pests. The tool allows users to review photos based on damage caused by pests (includes damage to irrigation systems, crops, orchards and surrounding areas), the tracks left by pests, or the droppings of pests. The results also provide users with information concerning the biology and identification of the pests and additional information concerning management options for the selected pest.
