Beneficial beetles: Helping crops, pastures and soil in the South East

Join Dr Kelly Jowett in this online webinar from the Nature Friendly Farming Network to learn about beneficial beetles in farm systems, from predatory beetles that control pests in crops, to dung beetles that reduce pests in pastures and improve soils.

You will hear how beetles contribute to integrated pest management (IPM), management practices to maximise beetle abundance, and how to monitor beetles on your farm.
