Matthew Gates of PESTAPALOOZA is back on GrowCast! Today he joins the program to talk about biological controls- specifically bio control sprays. Gates shares his thoughts on biocontrols in general, and talks about how we need to take a specific approach to selection and application of these products. He talks about pest killing fungi, and how different species tend to operate. Gates goes on to extrapolate on a few of the most common biocontrol sprays, including BTI, BTK, spinosad, and more. This leads to a conversation about biocontrol extracts versus living applications, and how things like enzymes and bacterium extracts differ. Matthew wraps the show by discussing specific applications of these species, and how to work them into your IPM schedule without having redundancies or knocking back your own beneficial bio controls...
