Encouraging Beneficial Insects for Pest Control
I am hearing more and more stories of how producers are using beneficial insect to control pest population in production areas. Here is a very short video of some ideas you might like to incorporate into your operation to enlist beneficials to help. This video from GrowingProduce.com was made from Dr. Hugh Smith at our very own UF/IFAS Gulf Coast Research and Education Center. It mainly speaks to vegetable growers but there are some ideas that you can think about and possibly incorporate into nursery, greenhouse, or sod production. Click on this link for the video.
