What you do at your company:

Overall, they supply more than 50 species for biological control in greenhouses, nurseries, landscapes, field vegetables, and animal manure.

Favorite Insect, Mite or Nematode:
With 50 species all with their own particular strengths, it is impossible to have a favorite. However, I can tell you about our newest species, Trichogramma ostriniae, for European corn borer in sweet corn and sweet peppers.
