Compatibility of Selected OMRI-listed Insecticides and Fungicides with Biological Control

Join eOrganic for a webinar on April 13th! Biological control is a method of using natural enemies to control pests. Biological control and OMRI-listed insecticides are integral parts of organic vegetable production. This webinar will summarize research data from a Organic Research and Education Initiative funded project that evaluated the compatibility of nine OMRI-listed insecticides and fungicides with eight predatory mite and insect species. This webinar will also provide practical suggestions on integrating biological control and insecticides. It takes place at 11AM Pacific, 12PM Mountain, 1PM Central, 2PM Eastern Time.

About the Presenter

Juang Horng “JC” Chong is a Professor and Extension Specialist in the Department of Plant and Environmental Sciences at Clemson University. JC’s program focuses on studying the ecology of pests and developing IPM programs in specialty crops. Three major pests—whiteflies, thrips and twospotted spider mites—are ubiquitous species across multiple cropping systems. JC’s program is at the forefront of evaluating new and reduced-risk chemistries against these major pests, as well as evaluating the compatibility of new and existing chemistries against biological control agents.

About the Extension Foundation

The Extension Foundation was formed in 2006 by Extension Directors and Administrators. Today, the Foundation partners with Cooperative Extension through liaison roles and a formal plan of work with the Extension Committee on Organization and Policy (ECOP) to increase system capacity while providing programmatic services, and helping Extension programs scale and investigate new methods and models for implementing programs. The Foundation provides professional development to Cooperative Extension professionals and offers exclusive services to its members. In 2020 and 2021, the Extension Foundation has awarded 85% of its direct funding back to the Cooperative Extension System, 100% of funds are used to support Cooperative Extension initiatives.
