Biopesticides Vs. Traditional Agrochemicals: To effectively control pests, understand how the products work and know the biology of insect pests.

摘要

In 2014, there is a place for both biopesticides and traditional agrochemicals in virtually all areas of agriculture. Researchers involved in fruit and vegetable, greenhouse, and row crop production say these two forms of crop protectants can be usedsolo or in tandem, depending on the situation. In either case, however, planning ahead is required.In general, the biggest difference between these two classes of materials is selectivity. Most biopesticides are highly targeted in the pests they kill, and as a result have less impact on beneficials or natural enemies. Traditional agrochemicals, on the other hand, are often considered to be broad spectrum products.
