Entomology

We solve pest control problems in fruit, field and vegetable crops using a wide range of methods. In specially earmarked strips around productive fields, the range of ecologically valuable wildflowers and herbs can now be optimized to promote beneficial organisms, helping producers to reduce insecticide applications. In addition, the development of physical barriers, innovative traps and pest confusion techniques helps to substantially improve pest control, as is the introduction of biological insecticides.
