What is a “Biological”?

A Biological Control Agent, or simply Biological, is a living organism that is used to improve plant performance and health. The effects can range from increased growth and yield through to improved resistance to diseases and insect pests. Good Biologicals have many advantages over chemicals. The main two are: They are safe, and they can have more benefits than chemicals. Typically, a chemical is either a pesticide or an insecticide or a fertilizer/nutrient. Biologicals can be all three of these and more. So, the potential is huge.
