🌽 Did You Know? 🍓   Effective resistance management in agriculture involves using biopesticides alongside synthetic pesticides. Biopesticides, such as Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt), offer unique modes of action and reduce the risk of pests developing resistance, extending the effectiveness of all products. By incorporating diverse product choices and proactive strategies, growers can sustainably manage pest populations.

🌱 BPIA Applauds Chairwoman Stabenow for Introducing the Farm Bill Text 🌱 BPIA commends Chairwoman Debbie Stabenow for releasing the Rural Prosperity and Food Security Act, a vital step toward strengthening U.S. agriculture, rural development, and sustainability. We’re thrilled to see the inclusion of a federal definition for plant biostimulants, which will provide much-needed clarity and open pathways for innovative products that enhance soil health, boost resilience, and support sustainable farming. As BPIA’s Director of Government and External Affairs, John Dunmore shared, “These advancements empower growers with cutting-edge tools to meet global agriculture demands while prioritizing sustainability.” BPIA is committed to working with Congress to ensure a swift bipartisan passage of a 2024 Farm Bill. #FarmBill #Agriculture #Sustainability #BiologicalInnovation

BPIA applauds the National Organic Standards Board for approving the Inert Ingredients in Organic Pesticide Products Proposal. Next, the National Organic Program staff will begin drafting a proposed rule. This is a big step forward and has the potential to expand the options for organic-compliant biological input products.

BPIA Organic Subcommittee Cochair and Director of Regulatory Affairs for BPIA member company AgroSpheres, Inc., Karen Warkentien provided public comments to the National Organic Standards Board (NOSB) recommending that the NOSB approve the Inert Ingredients in Organic Pesticide Products Proposal and forward that proposal to the National Organic Program staff for preparation of a proposed rule.

🚜🌱 Did You Know? 🌱🚜   🌿  Environmental stewardship is an important cornerstone of every grower’s operation. Biological crop inputs provide growers with valuable tools by delivering solutions that are highly effective in managing pests and increasing yield without creating negative impacts on the environment. Biological products have limited toxicity to birds, fish, bees, and other wildlife and help to maintain beneficial insect populations. They also break down quickly in the environment and can reduce conventional pesticide and fertilizer applications by managing resistance and helping plants to efficiently utilize nutrients. 🌿   Learn more about biologicals and their role in environmental stewardship on the BPIA website at: https://lnkd.in/eTMZ9-9h   #BPIA2024 #SustainableAgriculture #IntegratedPestManagement #BiologicalSolutions #BiologicalCropProtection
