Cover : Cover crops have many positive benefits, but on the negative side of the ledger, they can be attractive environments for pests to lay eggs or overwinter. An article on p. 3 of this issue provides some general tips to reduce pest problems as well as advice specific to controlling stink bugs, slugs, and bean leaf beetles.
