Biological controls, fertilizers, and stimulants have had remarkably rapid growth over the past eight years — the length of time Greenhouse Grower and its sister publications has hosted the BioSolutions Conference & Expo (formerly known as BioControls USA Conference & Expo). As an industry, we’ve grown more sophisticated in not only the types of products available, but also in how to apply them. Each year sees exciting breakthroughs and new approaches, making the conference a “can’t miss” for growers and agronomists.

Here’s a sneak peek into what you’ll learn at this year’s conference.

Explore Biological Solutions for Crop Protection and Plant Health

This year’s BioSolutions Conference & Expo takes place Feb. 23-24 in Reno, NV. Growers who attend will learn and grow with:

  • Success stories sharing how growers are integrating biologicals into conventional, organic, and integrated pest management (IPM) programs
  • Practical insight so you can learn to select, purchase, apply, and measure the efficacy of biologicals
  • Regulatory updates and market developments that require or encourage the use of biologicals
  • Operations and profitability strategies using the latest biological products and techniques
  • Lively tradeshow floor showcasing leading biological and technology suppliers

The conference kicks off with a close look at nanobodies, a breakthrough biological technology that promises to stop citrus greening (and potentially any viral or bacterial-based disease) in its tracks. Not only does this new technology move from positive greenhouse results to field trials in 2023, but Drs. Michelle Heck and Robert Shatters of USDA and Marco Pitino with AgroSource also developed a cost-effective delivery system, one that future commercial partners can bring to market relatively quickly.
