How do you know if your navel orangeworm management program is actually working, and where do new technologies fit?
In this episode of the MyAgLife Podcast, Dr. Emily Symmes previews her upcoming Crop Consultant Conference presentation and discusses how growers and PCAs can take a closer look at NOW program performance, from identifying when damage occurred and evaluating ROI to determining whether emerging technologies add meaningful value. She also explains why asking the right questions, testing new tools and sharing successes and failures will be increasingly important as NOW management continues to evolve.
Hear more from Emily at the 2026 Crop Consultant Conference, Sept. 23–24 at the Visalia Convention Center. Her presentation is scheduled for 8 a.m. Sept. 24.
