ANBP Members Products

Position Statement on ANBP Members Products

ANBP actively promotes and endorses those member products that are:

1. Produced as stated in our code of ethics. Meaning: ‘products containing defined species or biotype in accurately measured quantities in a condition suitable for performance’.
2. Produced in facilities as defined in the NAPPO (North American Plant Protection Organization) RSPM 26: commercially produced in a rearing facility with a protected environment for at least one complete generation. (http://www.nappo.org/Standards/REVIEW/2009/RSPM26Final15-10-06Rev6-09-e.pdf)
3. Produced and checked as specified in the ASTM(American Society for Testing and Materials) standards as published here: http://www.astm.org/COMMIT/SUBCOMMIT/E3530.htm

Consequently ANBP does not endorse the collection of biocontrol organisms from their natural habitat destined for resale.
