Invasive mussels threaten Western U.S. waters, risking $20M+ in damage to Lake Tahoe; states ramp up costly prevention and control efforts.

Quagga and zebra mussels are invasive freshwater mollusks that clog pipes, harm ecosystems, and cost millions to manage.

Agricultural biologicals are rapidly growing, offering high ROI in regenerative farming. Farmer education & transparency are key to adoption.

Bighead carp, introduced for algae control, now threaten ecosystems by outcompeting natives, disrupting habitats, and harming biodiversity.

Bark beetles, small yet destructive, damage trees by feeding on inner bark, weakening them. Climate change amplifies their impact, harming forests, wildlife, and economies.

The emerald ash borer is wiping out North American ash trees, spreading fast and disrupting ecosystems. Prevention is key to control.

ISC, founded by Dr. Pam Marrone, develops biological controls for invasive species, securing $2.5M in funding and a new Davis lab.

BIO honors Dr. Pam Marrone and Dr. Hank Harris for advancing biotech in pest control, sustainability, and animal vaccine development.

Dr. Pam Marrone discusses how biologicals boost crop quality, with 70% used by conventional farmers. The market is set to rival chemicals by 2040.

Toxic algal blooms harm ecosystems, wildlife, pets, and people. Fueled by pollution and climate change, they’re a growing global threat.

Invasive species threaten biodiversity, causing 60% of extinctions. Managing them is key to protecting ecosystems and native species.

Dr. Pam Marrone urges better grower education, market evaluation, and innovation in biologicals, highlighting peptides and RNA solutions.

ISC advances burrowing shrimp control with bioactive microbes, backed by a $388K WSDA grant. More testing ahead.

Dr. Pam Marrone urges market differentiation, grower education, and AI-driven innovation to advance biologicals and increase adoption.

Study tests Antimycin A-laced bait to selectively control invasive grass carp with minimal harm to native fish.

Bioherbicides show promise against resistant weeds, but cost, efficacy, and adoption barriers slow progress. AI may help drive innovation.

Invasive species threaten biodiversity. Strong biosecurity, early detection, and global cooperation are key to mitigation efforts.

Biologicals promise reduced chemicals and costs but face trust issues. AI, innovation, and education are key to wider adoption in farming.
