Giving Farmers a Bigger Toolbox
Abstract
Publication: TopSoil
In a recent Topsoil article, Dr. Pam Marrone, a pioneer in sustainable agriculture, discusses the expanding role of biologicals—such as biopesticides and biostimulants—in modern farming. These natural solutions offer farmers effective tools to enhance crop yields and resilience while reducing reliance on traditional chemical inputs.
Biologicals not only address pest and disease challenges but also promote soil health and environmental sustainability. Dr. Marrone emphasizes the importance of integrating these innovations into conventional farming practices to create a more sustainable and profitable agricultural system.
