The role of biologicals in greenhouse vegetable production

The role of biologicals in greenhouse vegetable production

Across agriculture, biologicals have arguably made the biggest impact in high-value specialty crops. Yet within the broad spectrum of U.S. crops, regions, and farms, it seems every grower has a different perspective on how biological tools are a fit in their production systems.

In a recent report, the editors of Meister Media Worldwide's fruit and vegetable brands recently discussed biologicals with a cross section of specialty crop growers large and small, as well as a Pest Control Adviser who makes crop protection recommendations to his grower clients. They shared their perceptions of these tools, strategies for best using them, success stories, and areas they're looking for more help. Learn what they had to say here. Note that while the information comes from field growers, many of the insights they share are applicable to growers who produce vegetables and fruits in a controlled environment.
