About this app

The SCOUT IPPM app is a collaboration between the University of Guelph and Pollinator Partnership Canada, with funding from the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs. SCOUT is supported by the Fresh Vegetable Growers of Ontario, the Ontario Processing Vegetable Growers Association, and the Ontario Soil and Crop Improvement Association. SCOUT provides Ontario cucurbit crop growers with a tool to simultaneously evaluate pests and pollinator populations in their crops, and provides action recommendations to growers based on that scouting. Scout uses scientific data and government guidelines to set action recommendations; guidelines are updated to reflect new information.
