Growing and delivering clean plants is more than a job to our dedicated Integrated Pest Management (IPM) team. We understand the significance of healthy plants and the difference they make for your business.
Biological Focus
Biological controls are the future. The results we’re seeing at our nursery led us to grow our biological component to nearly 50% of our IPM spending over the last five years. We expect this to expand as we continually learn new and effective ways to treat issues naturally.
Many forces drive our investment in biological methods – and prevention is the key. Beneficial insects and sprays proactively reduce the issues that require expensive and harmful chemical solutions. The beauty of IPM and prevention is that it actually leads to financial gains as well as environmental. It’s simply a matter of when, not if for the green industry.
