Vegetable Growers Using Biopesticides Report More Success

By Carol Miller|September 9, 2024

Because so many of you generously support our State of the Vegetable Industry survey each year, we’re able to make insights we wouldn’t be able to with fewer responses. But with several hundred responses this year, we can and have done that. We wanted to focus on biopesticides specifically in this particular comparison.

We looked at how growers who use biopesticides (with 127 growers supplying responses) differ from those who do not use biological products at all (represented by 210 growers).

If we had looked at growers using any type of biological product, including fertilizers and stimulants, there are 234 growers represented in that group.

Check out the following charts of data gathered from the 2024 State of the Vegetable Industry survey about using biopesticides on the farm.
