There are currently hundreds of biological control agents commercially available. In this article, we explore the pros and cons of using parasitoids versus predators.

The two-spotted spider mite usually causes the majority of its damage early in the season, so special field scouting effort needs to be implemented from February to June in California and even into August in some locations (Santa Maria), December to April in Florida.

Conservation biological control (CBC) be summarized as the set of practices that aim to ensure that natural enemies have a suitable habitat capable of supporting their populations at required levels.

The technique of bolstering existing beneficial populations with mass-reared insects is referred to as augmentative biocontrol and presents many advantages compared to the use of chemical applications.

In this article, we will take a focused look at classical (or importation) biological control, which along with augmentative and conservation control is one of three primary disciplines of biocontrol.

Biocontrol is not a new concept. Ancient Egyptians used domestic cats to control the rodent populations that threatened their grain supplies, ancient Chinese citrus growers moved predaceous ant nests into their citrus fields…

Another powerful way in which savvy vineyard managers and winemakers are unlocking remote sensing’s potential value: selective harvest.

Remote sensing is one of the considerable advances in farming of the past 20 years. But once you have your imagery in hands, what are the next steps?
