Well said.
This is the problem with most people dealing with Biological
Control they are still looking for the biological “silver bullet”.
It is the same mind set of the chemical industry applied to
biology.
They have never thought about improving plant nutrition as a
way to reduce pest attack.

Hi Russ and group -

The Stoneville, Miss Biological Control group has been around for a long
time. All that is happening is that they are building a new lab for the
group. Don't expect anything except the same old, same old from them.

This group has a single-species orientation, basically with the mind-set
that for each pest, there is a control species. I have always thought
of this as the toxic chemical mind-set.

Have disease? Apply this chemical. Or from this group, apply this one
bacterial control species. Sigh.

There should be so much more that this group does, but they are still in
chemical mindset. New lab? Will that change the set of blinders they
have on their minds?
We could all wish that it would, but I don't hold out much hope.
