This book describes entomopathogenic and slug parasitic nematodes as potential biocontrol agents in crop insect and slug pest management. Addressing research on these two nematodes from tropical, subtropical and temperate countries, it covers the new techniques and major developments regarding mass production, formulation, application, commercialization and safety measures. Plans for future strategies to make these beneficial nematodes cost-effective and expand their use by including them in integrated pest management programmes in different agro-ecosystems are also discussed.
This book is available to buy at CABI bookshop, here: https://www.cabi.org/bookshop/book/9781786390004 and at various other bookstores.
FarmForest carries out greenhouse trials at our greenhouse facility near Westport, Ontario. Our greenhouse is 8000 square feet and can accommodate up to 12 research trial in separate compartmented units.
FarmForest Research conducts trials on all greenhouse crops, including tomatoes, vegetables, horticultural crops, flowers and bedding plants. We can help you to select the best performing varieties and growing techniques for your greenhouse use. We collect accurate results to show your crops’ production, yield and quality.
We also carry out trials on commercial greenhouse products, from biopesticides, molluscicides and herbicides to fertilizers, plant food, growth promoters and potting media.
We are currently accepting trials.
FarmForest Research is excited about the upcoming field season. We have some new capabilities in seed trials, we can treat seed and can test against a variety of seed diseases.
We have new precision seeders and can do in-furrow treatments as well. All growth parameters up to yield can be captured. We have on farm environment stations for soil and weather.
