How You Can Implement New Biocontrols Application Technology

Posted by Brian Sparks|February 22, 2022

The 2022 Biocontrols USA Conference and Expo is less than a week away, and it’s not too late to sign up. In addition to a pre-conference tour and post-conference cannabis workshop, as well as educational sessions focused specifically on greenhouse and cannabis/hemp production, there are also several presentations that will be valuable to growers of any crop.

Application Tips and Technology: How to Use the Tools

Maximizing the use of beneficial insects and other biopesticide products is paramount to the success of your operation’s biocontrol program. To ensure these tools are used correctly, they must be applied correctly. Hear from experts as they discuss how mechanized application compares to traditional hand application, how drones increase application uniformity, and provide tips on the best options available to apply these products to your crops.

Sap Analysis: A Diagnostic Approach

Sap analysis measures dissolved nutrients and works by comparing both young and old leaves. Understanding nutrient mobility often gives you time to correct nutrient deficiencies before you see them in the plant. Learn from experts as they discuss how sap analysis works, the benefits, and the drawbacks.

Risk Awareness, Produce Safety, and Biological Crop Amendments

Biostimulants and biofertilizers can be very valuable tools in your production. But there are simple steps you are responsible for at the grower level to use these products with food safety in mind. Learn how you can avoid food safety issues when using biological products.
