Delivery of science base information on management of sugarcane aphid for Mexico and South America
Author: Raul Villanueva
Planning Unit: Entomology
Major Program: Grains
Outcome: Intermediate Outcome
I conducted two webinars delivering information on the management of the sugarcane aphid for Mexico and South America. Webinars were delivered in Spanish and they were broadcast via Microsoft Teams Meeting (MSTM) and Facebook. The audience for each of these events reached to >200 on MSTM whereas Facebook audience was not tallied. Audience included growers, consultants, chemical industry workers and students. The counties involved in South America were Colombia and Bolivia, places that sugarcane aphids had arrived late. Comments and questions were formulated during and after the presentations and the majority of attendees were satisfied for the information delivered.
