Partners Against Pests: Biologicals can work in rotation and in conjunction with traditional chemicals

摘要

As researchers and extension specialists work with growers to reach that perfect balance of efficacy and economy in their pest control programs, many find that the pests themselves aren't the only challenge. Another is the myth that use of conventional chemicals and biopesticides is an either/or proposition. IPM advocates admit it's easy to see how this myth got started. Organic growers use biopesticides as a stand-alone because most products are registered for use on organic crops. So biopesticidesare often linked to organic production.
