Organic Pest Control for Farms, Greenhouses, and Cultivation Facilities

Going Green in the Green Growth Industry: Commercial Organic Pest Control Options

What is meant by “organic”? Agriculture is involved in every aspect of our lives from the food we eat to the fuel in our vehicles. With such a large role to play, it is important for growers to make wise choices in how our products are grown and produced.

Organic farming is an excellent option for sustainability and the production of environmentally friendly products. It is a branch of crop and livestock production that is holistic in approach by reducing or eliminating the use of conventional pesticides, fertilizers, antibiotics, and more. Organic practices have been shown to reduce the impacts on the environment by minimizing soil degradation and erosion, decrease of soil and water pollution, and optimizing biological productivity in the soil.

This is done through an approach that maximizes the use of natural pest control to ensure maximum retention of biodiversity and a smaller impact on our environment. Organic Farming Methods: The options for growers looking to go organic are plentiful. Growers implement best practices when producing their crops and products. These practices combine knowledge of ecology and modern technology with that of conventional agriculture methods. The key components of a well-run organic operation are crop rotation, green manure and compost, mechanical cultivation, and biological pest control. A top issue in crop production is the control of pests from the ones flying through the air to the microscopic pests hidden in foliage or roots.

What is biological pest control?

Biological pest control is an approach that growers embrace as an organic plant protection method in controlling insects, pests, and diseases through the use of other organisms. These live pest control methods use the method of predation, herbivory, and other natural mechanisms that integrate with the growers management interaction.

A grower may ask why biological pest control? Conventional applications of herbicides and pesticides get the job done, why change? Although the use of manufactured chemicals may seem like an easy approach, there are disadvantages.

The application of pesticides and herbicides may create resistance to the chemical being used over time decreasing effectiveness. This leads to long-term costs associated with applications of greater quantities to accommodate decreased effectiveness or the use of stronger, more potent chemicals. Chemicals are also typically created to be non-specific and will not only get rid of the harmful pests, but also the beneficial ones.

Biological pest control uses the method of nature to control pests. It is important to identify the pest that needs control in your crops and grow site as biological pest control is highly specific to varieties and types of pests. For example, some pests require an oil-based solution while others can be controlled through applications that are water-based.
