A Sweet Corn Scout in your pocket!Who are we?
The idea for Sweet Corn Scout came from the work of Marion Zuefle, Vegetable IPM extension educator at Cornell Cooperative Extension, and part of the New York State Integrated Pest Management Program staff.
Located at Cornell AgriTech in Geneva NY, we work closely with Cornell University faculty and agricultural professionals to support vegetable growers.
What is IPM?
Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is a method of disease, insect, weed and animal management that considers the available cultural, mechanical, biological, and chemical methods of control. The goal is to create an integrated system that is effective, economical and environmentally sound. The basic features of an IPM system are pest identification, planning, monitoring, application, and evaluation.

The Sweet Corn Scout™ mobile application has been designed to provide an easily accessible summary of information on common sweet corn pests and an interactive interface for collecting, organizing, and presenting scouting data.
