Dealing with multiple pests for biological control isn’t easy. Fortunately, all it takes is a little know-how and practice to get it right.

Biobest recently redesigned the packaging for its Biobest bulk Amblyseius system, replacing plastic buckets with specially designed eco-friendly paper bags.

Growers producing crops in protected structures, including ornamentals, vegetable crops, and cannabis, can learn about effective sanitation, banker plants, and buying and using beneficials and predatory insects at the Biocontrols USA West Conference in San Diego, March 3-7.

A newly patented sachet for the predatory mite Amblyseius swirskii is resistant to both low and high levels of humidity, helping growers combat thrips infestations.
