About this episode

In this episode, Dr. Anna Wallingford answers the second half of audience-submitted questions about insect pests.

When we asked what insect pests were bugging you, we got so many questions it turned into two podcast episodes! So, this week we sit back down with Dr. Anna Wallingford of New Hampshire Community Supported Research to answer the second half of the bug questions submitted by the audience. The first half of this podcast ran the week of 7/7/26 so you can still listen to that one if you haven’t yet. There’s also a free article linked in the show notes- cabbage aphids come up in the interview, so we linked to Dr. Wallingford’s article from the June/July Growing for Market Magazine, “Scouting guidelines for brassica crops so you know what’s OK and when to act.”
