Planning Unit: Entomology
Major Program: Integrated Pest Management
Outcome: Intermediate Outcome
As a result of Zoom trainings previously described, 100% of agents that completed the course (n=5) say they will be increasing their recommendations of biological control to local growers. This has the potential to impact about 25 growers in 5 different counties. This project also saved growers about $2,000 on purchasing biological control agents from insectaries.
