Agrobío, a benchmark in biological pest control solutions and bio-pollination, will be present at Fruit Attraction 2024 on stand 9E22 to present its latest innovations. With almost three decades of history and presence in over 45 countries, the company is reaffirming its commitment to sustainable, highly productive farming.
Since its beginnings, Agrobío has been a pioneer in the development of innovative solutions based on beneficial organisms such as predators and pollinators, which have transformed farming methods in many regions around the world. Through constant research in key areas such as genetics and insect nutrition, the company has managed to develop a new generation of predators, revolutionising the preventive handling of pests in vegetable, fruit and ornamental plant crops. Amongst these, Orius Cold and Orius Plus stand out, two advanced strains of Oriuslaevigatus, with a high predator capacity and resistance to unfavourable temperatures, as well as to a lack of food (pollen or pest) in the crop.
One of Agrobio’s main innovations is POWERmite 3.0, its latest generation diet designed to promote the predatory action of the three main groups of predators – mites, mirid bugs (plant bugs) and anthocoridae (flower bugs) on crops. Now they can carry out their functions in a more efficient way, which is translated into greater crop protection and an improvement in fruit quality. This feeding strategy patented by Agrobio strengthens the biological control and opens up new opportunities for the future of pest control in open-air farming.
As a new development, at Fruit Attraction the company will display PHYTOplus, the most advanced Phytoseiulus against red spider mite. Its innovative breeding system has resulted in a formula that allows continuous, more efficient control of the pest, keeping the outbreaks under control in all kinds of crops.
