Biological control in citrus

20 years of citrus experience to guide you through every decision

Two decades of experience in citrus provide us with a broad background and accumulated knowledge that allows us to offer effective and sustainable solutions for the biological control of pests and diseases in citrus.

Pests such as mealybugs (cotonet), red spider mites (Tetranychus urticae), different species of thrips (such as Scirtothrips spp.) and diaspines (such as white louse and red louse) have no secrets for us.

Our biological control strategies are always based on prevention and acting before the pest appears. We adapt our action protocols to the specific conditions of each case to obtain the best results.

Making the right decisions is the difference between success and failure in biological control, which is why we always recommend the expert and qualified advice of our field technicians.
