Agrovista is fully committed to practicing the principles of Integrated Pest Management (IPM), and that couldn’t be more the case than for our team of fruit specialists.
Within agriculture, there is a need to reduce the reliance on chemical pesticides and improve awareness of alternative control methods. Although IPM is not a new concept, potential product revocations and tightening restrictions mean that its role in crop production is becoming more important than ever.
For British fruit growers, issues such as resistance management, reducing residue levels, and maintaining quality standards have become a daily concern.
