4 key benefits of biological crop protection

Growers nowadays are facing many challenges, constantly adapting to changing conditions. One of these many challenges is managing pest and disease pressure while maintaining productivity and keeping in mind the strict regulations regarding chemical pesticide usage and maximum residue levels.

Fortunately, biological crop protection offers a sustainable solution that not only maximizes flexibility for growers, but also helps to meet these increasing challenges.

Maximize yields and quality

Biological crop protection, unlike chemical alternatives, leaves minimal to no residues, eliminating obliged pre-harvest intervals. Chemical pesticide treatments often necessitate waiting periods ranging from a few days, to several weeks or even months.
By not having this limitation when using biological crop protection, growers can manage pests and diseases close to harvest, leading to increased yields, improved crop quality, and ultimately, higher prices and turnover.
