Michigan State University’s next round of self-paced online courses are an excellent resource for greenhouse growers who want to learn more about crop production or pest management. But registration ends soon.
The Biological Products Industry Alliance will hold its 2018 Fall Meeting and Sustainability Symposium in Rochester, NY, on Oct. 9-10, immediately followed by the Biocontrols USA East 2018 Conference & Expo.
Bioline, a subsidiary of Syngenta, specializes in the production and marketing of biological control agents, and in particular macroorganisms active against insect pests in fruits, vegetables, and flowers.
The $12 million facility will feature two new high-tech greenhouses that will be used in the development of new solutions in vegetable seeds and biologicals.
When pest pressure is high, biological controls alone may not be enough to take care of the problem. Make sure that any pesticides you use won’t harm the beneficials hard at work in your greenhouse.
Biological pest control company Beneficial Insectary is now producing both Amblyseius (=Neoseiulus) cucumeris and Stratiolaelaps scimitus (formerly Hypoaspis miles) at its facility in California. Domestic production in the U.S. is now benefiting growers in North America by reducing the transit time of perishable predatory mites between producer and grower.
