BioSolutions for Propagators, a pest control article by Jeremy Webber, appears in the December 2024 issue of GrowerTalks magazine. He discusses the impact a customized bioprogram can have on all stages of the propagation process, including stock plants, rooting, and bulking up for shipping. It’s an grower-centric read for propagators and other industry professionals curious about natural, sustainable pest control solutions for crops.
