“The Blue Book is my go to crop protection guide. As an independent agronomist, I want to make sure I have access to this great resource at all times, which is why I keep copies of it in my vehicle, backpack and office. I also give copies of the book to my clients so they can have it in their office and sprayer.”
-Daryl Chubb, Agronomist, DeNovo Ag Inc.
“The Blue Book is an excellent and comprehensive resource to help inform pest control programs in Alberta. As a weed science researcher, I consult the Blue Book regularly when planning experiments and making pest control decisions. The vast detail included makes the Blue Book an essential resource for farmers and agronomists alike.”
-Charles Geddes Ph.D. P.Ag., Research Scientist, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada
