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.
