The Biocontrols Post Gardens Uses
Post Gardens started using biocontrols seven years ago and the growers there have learned a lot about which products are most effective at preventing insect and disease problems.
While each operation should tailor a custom biocontrol program based on crops and greenhouse conditions, here’s a look at the products used by Post Gardens according to Post’s Bill Tuinier.
