Buying Biology: Beneficial Organisms for Disease and Pest Control Part 6 HD
Keeping our plants healthy means engaging living biological agents that might not occur naturally on our landscapes. How do we know the best sources of these living inputs? Award winning entomologist, Dr. Richard McDonald, together with Pat Battle will focus on how to incorporate beneficial biological introductions and match them with preventative measures as our first line of defense against insect and disease pressure. Farmscaping, multi-species cover crops, minimal soil disturbance, and proper mineral availability are some of the many ways growers create conditions that bring insects into balance and support healthy plants. In part 6, Dr. McBug shows us how to spot various insect species with an ultraviolet light and how to discern what it has been eating and whether it is beneficial or a manageable pest.
