Introduction Aphids, thrips and whiteflies are common pests that can seriously damage fruit crops, causing loss of yield and quality. Chemical pesticides have traditionally been used to control them, but biopesticides offer a safe and sustainable alternative. This blog post describes the process of selecting the right biopesticides to control aphids, thrips and whiteflies in
Nematodes are microscopically worm-like organisms that live in soil films and water-filled pore spaces. They are usually most abundant in the upper layers of soil, where organic matter, plant roots, and other resources are most abundant. Potato and beetroot plants are susceptible to nematode infestation, which can lead to reduced yields and poor plant health.
