BCAs in veg propagation: Using them in earliest crop stages means greater biocontrol success for growers

摘要

Almost 20 years ago, the possibilities of using BCAs in vegetable transplants were investigated in a project in Europe. This project took place from 1994 to 1997, and 10 large propagators in the Netherlands were involved as well as the Dutch Plant Health Department, growers organizations, a committee of crop protection specialists and crop consultants. The crops involved were followed closely from seeding until 10 weeks after planting out at the growers' greenhouses.
