SUSTAINABILITYBIOCONTROL IN DEMAND FROM PRODUCE RETAILERS AND CONSUMERS

摘要

BIOLOGICAL CONTROL has moved into the mainstream. After years of experimentation, and new and improved technologies, biocontrol is becoming a more regular part of many growers' integrated pest management (IPM) programs. And the timing couldn't be better, as consumer demands for more sustainable production methods for the produce and ornamentals they buy are moving back upstream. Retailers have taken notice, and many are beginning to set expectations for what they want to see from the growers they choose to buy from.
