Episode 125: The Latest in Biocontrols with Suzanne Wainwright Evans

My guest this week is my good friend, Suzanne Wainwright-Evans also known by many as The Bug Lady. She is an Ornamental Entomologist specializing in integrated pest management. Suzanne has been involved in the Green Industry for more than 25 years with a primary focus on biological control and using pesticides properly. She is a graduate of the University of Florida with degrees in both Entomology and Environmental Horticulture. Suzanne has been on the podcast multiple times and I highly suggest folks go back and listen to some of her other podcasts if you haven’t already.

Hey I work in cannabis cultivation In NY and Beauveria Bassiana is part of our IPM program, so the bassiana granules are something we are very interested in finding! though i can't find It as something BioCeres sells at the moment. If anyone could help me with this that would be great!

Holy Christ epi shield is 300$ a liter!! For essential oil?? I need to get me podcaster money..ha

[@kisorganics]

Yikes! I didn’t know the price. Maybe they can offer smaller sizes that are more affordable like they do with Suffoil X as Monterrey Horticultural Oil.

​@@kisorganicsBorty stop is another one. They won't sell less than 12 lbs at a time. Love the show and the information.❤

[@kisorganics]

@@guidomcguido5435 I have a meeting with the industry association they are a part of for biocontrols to ask them to offer smaller sizes for growers. I've talked to Bioworks about this as well. I will continue to push that, as I realize it's way too much for the home grower and I'd like access to those products as well!

[@perplexingpebbles]

We've personally bought a product "Mercenary" that didn't work for three hundred bucks. Would have loved to pay for something that worked. It's the price ya pay.

[@jackgriffin4530]

It's that fluff!
