Avoidance of Pests (Wheat) 🌾

---

1. Adapt the sowing time.
2. Implement crop rotation, ideally with species-crops having different
“enemies” or are resistant to the most important wheat pest and diseases.
3. This will reduce their population and starting pathogen load (inoculum).
4. Keep the field weed-free and deal with crop residues.
5. The grain store should be completely emptied and cleaned thoroughly.
6. Corners, joints and crevices in particular create survival spaces for insects.
7. Pests can survive under old grain and dust, and in cracks and holes.
Such potential refuges should therefore be cleaned or eliminated
