SUPPLIERS OF BENEFICIAL ORGANISMS IN NORTH AMERICA ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank: Ing. Enrique Garza Gonz lez, Centro Nacional de Referencia de Control Biol¢gico (Sanidad Vegetal) for graciously providing information and answering questions on suppliers in M‚xico; Larry Bezark of the Biological Control Program (California Department of Food and Agriculture) for his review and technical input; Department of Pesticide Regulation staff members - Drs. Nita A. Davidson, Nan Gorder, and Larry Wilhoit for their reviews and helpful comments; Ang‚lica Mar¡n Welsh for her assistance with Spanish translations; Lyndon Hawkins for his many hours of assistance, his editorial comments, and technical review; Kathy Brunetti for her review, suggestions, and support; Linda Heath Clark for her assistance in developing the cover and for her drawings of Encarsia spp.; and the suppliers that responded to the 1994 survey for their suggestions and input. DISCLAIMER Inclusion in this publication does not imply an endorsement of the suppliers or their products by the California Environmental Protection Agency, the Department of Pesticide Regulation, or the author, nor does this publication imply criticism of other suppliers not listed. For some of the organisms listed there may be government restrictions on their use and permits may be required for their shipment and release; consult with your local agricultural regulatory agency. If permits are required, often the supplier has them or can assist in obtaining them. This pamphlet may be freely reproduced with proper credit. One free copy per request is available from: California Environmental Protection Agency Department of Pesticide Regulation Environmental Monitoring and Pest Management Branch 1020 N Street, Room 161 Sacramento, California 95814-5604 Telephone: (916) 324-4100 PM 94-03 Introduction As in past editions, this listing is confined to beneficial organisms used for the biological control of pest organisms and excludes other commercially available useful organisms such as honey bees, earthworms, or butterflies as indexed listings. Biological controls that are single-celled organisms such as bacteria, fungi, protozoans, and viruses are defined as pesticides by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA). In the United States of America (USA), the sale and use of these organisms is governed by USEPA and state laws, and regulations applicable to chemical pesticides. These organisms are widely available commercially and are not listed in this publication. This edition lists 132 suppliers and over 120 different organisms. Only private commercial suppliers are listed. This is the first edition to include suppliers in M‚xico. The suppliers of each country have been listed separately. The listing of Canadian suppliers begins on page 3, followed by Mexican suppliers beginning on page 5, and USA suppliers beginning on page 9. In each section, the suppliers are listed alphabetically with each listing preceded by a supplier number. Each supplier number begins with the first letter of the country in which the supplier is located (C=Canada, M=M‚xico, U=USA). Each listing includes the name, address, telephone, and FAX numbers of the supplier along with a retail/wholesale notation. Under the retail/wholesale notation, there may also be a brief comment submitted by the supplier on its specialties and/or the services it can provide. All the information on Mexican suppliers was obtained from Ing. Enrique Garza Gonz lez, Centro Nacional de Referencia de Control Biol¢gico (Sanidad Vegetal). Included are two separate indexes to suppliers of beneficial organisms. Both indexes use scientific names because most beneficial organisms do not have common names. The first, starting on page 21, lists beneficial organisms under 13 different categories. Within each category, the organisms are listed alphabetically by their scientific name, followed by a brief notation on the organism or its use. Following this are the supplier numbers for each of the suppliers that have stated that they can supply that specific organism. The second, starting on page 27, is a scientific names index to all the different species of beneficial organisms listed in this publication. After each scientific name follows one or more supplier numbers identifying the companies that sell the organism. To locate suppliers use the supplier numbers and refer to the suppliers lists. Special Notes This listing gives only a general description of the beneficial organisms and makes no recommendations nor implies their effectiveness in controlling any pest. The beneficial organisms listed may attack other organisms that are not listed. The author has attempted to list each beneficial organism by its currently accepted scientific name and takes full responsibility for any errors in nomenclature or in the general descriptions. In some rare instances, the names of organisms submitted by companies were not listed because the companies failed to provide adequate supporting information on the organisms and their use. Before using any type of pest control, be sure of the identity of the pest(s). Sometimes, beneficial organisms are confused with pests, especially in their immature stages, and control measures are mistakenly applied. In addition to offering biological controls, some of the companies listed can provide consultation services. These services can be extremely valuable in establishing integrated pest management (IPM) programs of which biological controls are a major part. Many of the suppliers also have literature available about beneficial organisms and how to use them. A brief listing of selected references on biological control, pest identification, and integrated pest management is included on page 30. IMPORTANT NOTICE With the proper permits, most of the organisms listed in this booklet can be shipped interstate and in many cases between countries. The suppliers should be aware of the permits required and may often have the permits on hand to ship to your area. In some cases, suppliers may require assistance in obtaining permits. In some situations, the importation or transport of certain species is prohibited. California Residents: The grass carp and the decollate snail listed in this booklet are prohibited species in California. The importation or transportation of the grass carp or white amur (Ctenopharyngodon idella) is prohibited in California by the California Fish and Game Commission [Title 14, Section 671, California Code of Regulations]. The importation or transportation of the decollate snail (Rumina decollata) is prohibited in California by the California Fish and Game Commission, except in the counties of Imperial, Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego, Santa Barbara, Tulare, and Ventura with the concurrence of the appropriate County Agricultural Commissioner [Title 14, Section 671, California Code of Regulations]. On August 6, 1993, the California Fish and Game Commision authorized the use of decollate snail in citrus orchards in Kern, Fresno, and Madera counties. Their use requires the approval of the appropriate County Agricultural Commissioner. Except for the above 12 counties, the use of the decollate snail in California is prohibited. The importation and transportation of live crustaceans, molluscs, fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals may require a permit.

Telephones: (916) 653-6194 (for aquatic animals) - (916) 653-9742 (for other species). Non-California Residents: Your federal and/or state/provincial regulations may prohibit the importation or transport of some biological control organisms.
