Spring is a great time to test your fields for the presence of soybean cyst nematode (SCN).

Lycorma delicatula, commonly known as the spotted lanternfly (SLF), is an invasive insect pest present in Pennsylvania and some other eastern states. SLF threatens grape production and tree health and is a nuisance in landscapes.

Most farmers are required by Pennsylvania law to have an agricultural erosion and sediment control plan on file.

¿Qué haría usted si la escuela de su niño lo envía de vuelta a su casa porque tiene piojos?

El manejo integrado de plagas (IPM) utiliza la información sobre plagas para elegir los métodos de control más seguros y efectivos.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is already making its mark on agriculture, offering new tools to help improve efficiency, increase yields, and make more data-driven decisions.

The Handy Bt Trait Table was updated in August 2025 and can help sort out the transgenic, insect-resistance traits available.

New applicator? First time using restricted-use pesticides? Fumigants? Retesting after a lapsed license? These are the simplified steps to obtain a private pesticide license.

Learn more about Agricultural Erosion and Sediment Control Plans, why these are important, whether your farm needs a plan, and available resources.

The best way to protect soil from erosion is to keep it covered and undisturbed. Learn about no-till, reduced tillage, cover crops, and contour farming to reduce the threats of erosion.

Your soil conservation plan is developed. Learn about plan implementation, plan evaluation, field observation, and why ephemeral gullies are important.

As temperatures rise and soils thaw, the potential for causing soil compaction increases. Is soil compaction on your radar screen?

For many of us, artificial intelligence (AI) inadvertently became part of our lives. What are some common and potential applications of AI in agriculture?

If small grain has experienced frost heaving this winter, it is best to wait to apply herbicides.

How we manage soil has major implications on the ability of soil microorganisms to carry out important services in agricultural production.

How much soil is lost from your fields and what can be done to reduce soil loss? Read on to learn about the factors included in estimating soil loss using RUSLE2 (second version of Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation).

Soil crusting can be a serious problem on soils with poor aggregate stability. It leads to reduced water infiltration and inhibits seedling emergence. What leads to crusting and what can be done to avoid it?

Tools such as PAOneStop can help farmers and landowners calculate soil loss. This creates an opportunity to understand how crop management changes can impact soil loss.

Frost seeding is an economical method to establish legume cover crops into small grain stands or to fill in run-down pastures.

Field observations are important to determine if there are areas of the farm that have too much erosion. A project in Wisconsin offers valuable suggestions for how to go about it.

AI-powered technology is being implemented across the precision agricultural industry. Let's dive into the history of AI and explore how it has developed into the usable technology that it is today.

Riparian buffers serve to protect our waterways and, in our field crops and pastures, can help to prevent erosion while intercepting sediment that carries nutrients and pollutants.

Use this step-by-step method to narrow down the possibilities of your plant problem, but don't forget to ask the experts if you need to.

Legumes have the ability to form a mutually beneficial (symbiotic) relationship with certain soil bacteria of the type or "genus" Rhizobia.

An effective crop rotation meets the feed needs of the operation, improves crop yields, reduces pest problems, and effectively uses on-farm nutrients.
