Why Commercial Growers Are Adopting Biological Crop Protection

Adoption is not driven by sustainability claims alone. It depends on performance, operational fit, economics, evidence and technical support. Commercial growers do not adopt biological crop protection because it sounds progressive. They adopt it when it solves a costly problem without introducing unacceptable production risk. That distinction matters. The biologicals industry has often concentrated on
