Biopesticide Integration: Strategy and Economic Considerations
10:10:00am - 11:00am
The strategic use of biopesticides has the potential to significantly reduce the overall cost of a biocontrol program, offering a balanced and economical approach to thrips management in spring floriculture crops. In this session, JJ Klimp from Hidden Leaf Greenhouse shares his approach to successfully integrating biopesticides into his biological control program - what he sprays, when he sprays, and why he sprays it. He includes examples of real spring floriculture crop cycles and provides cost analyses on his chosen management decisions.
