Many factors are important in establishing successful biological control programs in greenhouses.
There are few easy answers or short cuts to success, and extra effort is required to make these programs work. Understanding the role of the biological control agent supplier, the grower s commitment, and the limitations of the biological control agents is necessary to ensure success. It is the supplier s responsibility to deliver an order on time and to make no mistakes in the shipment contents. When beginning most biological control programs, a release schedule is determined for the biological control agents. Receiving the correct number of agents is another important issue.
