The Association of Natural Biocontrol Producers (ANBP) is a professional association representing the biological pest management industry. Augmentative biological control utilizes beneficial insects, mites and nematodes to manage agricultural, horticultural and plant pests. ANBP membership includes producers, distributors, and in addition, users of natural enemies as well as allied industry supporters, university researchers, extension agents and regulatory representatives.

And, the 2016 version of the Guidelines for Purchasing and Using Commercial Natural Enemies and Biopesticides in North America is here!  This Guide covers all of North America and includes all ANBP member companies.   We will be revising it during Spring of 2017!

And, learn how to evaluate your beneficial order!

Growers and other end-users of commercial biocontrol products now have a website that explains how to simply evaluate the quality of their biocontrol shipment.  Produced by Vineland Research and Innovation Centre in Canada, this website was launched with the help of ANBP and University of Florida IPM.  It will be updated with new species and can be edited if shipping techniques change.  Check it out at:
