History 1989 - 1996

• 1989: Canadian Greenhouses, but new to US.

• Greenhouse Tomato Less than 0.5% of US Retail sales in

1989

• Today: Retail Groceries: ~60%

• Big Box: ~72%

Greenhouses, to consider

biopesticides for use in

disease and pest

management

What we would like to see in

the future and the future of

Integrated Crop Management

and use of biopesticides in

commercial vegetable

production.
