Award winning entomologist, Dr. Richard McDonald, together with Pat Battle will focus on how to incorporate beneficial biological introductions and match them with preventive 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 our final part 8, Dr. McBug shares some of his preferred most effective and least dangerous products to control certain garden pests when necessary and how to manage farmscaping for maximum benefits and optimal balance of insect communities.
