Biological Control & Biopesticides

Design and adoption of programmes using beneficial organisms and biopesticides to strengthen natural pest control.

From selecting beneficial organisms to positioning biopesticides within a spray programme, we help growers and partners make biological control work in the field.

  • Beneficial selection and release plans
  • Biopesticide positioning
  • Compatibility reviews
