The 2025 BioSolutions Conference and Expo, on Feb. 18 to 20, 2025, has extended its presentation proposal deadline to Aug. 30.

One of the biggest challenges of biological controls (biocontrols) is the lack of documented field tests and trials.

Vineland and OMAFRA look at the benefits of mass trapping through sticky traps as part of an integrated pest management (IPM) strategy.

Growing Produce takes a look at how biostimulants can contribute to plant health regarding water use and other environmental stresses.

Dr. Rose Buitenhuis of the Vineland Research and Innovation Centre discusses the factors that contribute to biocontrol program failure in this week’s video.

Growers learned about release and delivery technologies for beneficial insects as well as digital and automated monitoring.

300 attendees learn about biologicals while walking the trade show floor and networking with peers.

Multiple market drivers and building demand might propel the global beneficial insects market to a billion-dollar industry.

The upcoming BioSolutions Conference and Expo will feature two greenhouse-specific educational presentations highlighting the latest research in disease control.

Suppliers note that growers are seeking and welcome new, innovative biological control products that are effective and safe.

Growers are using a mix of conventional chemistries and biosolutions to eliminate pests and diseases. With that comes a need for more education.

The bulletin from Michigan State University provides photos and lists commercially available beneficial insects, their target insects and key facts about biocontrol agents.

Attendees will gain valuable insights and will be among the first to access state-of-the-art biological products and upcoming technologies.
