Due to the uncertainty of being allowed to hold face-to-face meetings during the early planning sessions for their Insect Scout Schools, organizers decided to pre-record the entire scout school for General Thresholds, Cotton, Corn, Grain Sorghum, and Soybean Insect Pests. Each section will cover basic biology, thresholds, and management of key pests in the major crops grown in Mississippi.
