    Classic Biological Control

    Part of the IRREC campus, the Norman C.

Hayslip BCRCL introduce and evaluate natural enemies of invasive insects and plants under highly secure laboratory conditions to obtain information required to make informed decisions regarding their release into Florida’s environments.
