Bugs for Growers — Organic raspberries

Yesterday, we harvested fresh raspberries (see photo below) from the raspberry plants that are naturally growing at the borderline of our organic garden.

In our organic vegetable garden we use only compost as a nutrient source for plants. As an alternative to chemical pesticides, we use entomopathogenic nematodes as biological control agents to manage insect pest problem in our organic garden.
