Sign up your land for pest surveys

Insect and disease surveys across the Prairies have moved to a permission-based system to access fields for monitoring. Pest management specialists use these survey results to create forecast maps, guide research decisions, detect and track new or emerging pests, and support management decisions. This information is also shared through Canola Watch to improve canola pest management.

Please use the following contact information to give surveyors permission to check your fields.
