Saskatchewan's 'Guide to Crop Protection' is a key tool on the farm.

Crop Management Specialist Shannon Friesen says while it has been available online, the books are finally here.

"So they finally arrived this week, producers are able to pick them up either at Saskatchewan agriculture regional offices or of course through their local renters as well."

Friesen says there's a variety of information in the book that makes it a key tool for producers.

"It does go through weed control, disease, insects, seed treatment as well as grain storage chemicals. In addition it does highlight certain aspects of integrated pest management, herbicide resistance and so on."

She also notes there's some new formatting with the new book so hopefully it’s easier for producers to follow.
