Agrovista pollen and nectar mix

Pollen and nectar mixtures provide a valuable food source for beneficial pollinators such as bumblebees, solitary bees, butterflies and hoverflies and to encourage the natural predators that feed on crop pests.

This forms part of an integrated pest management approach to crop protection.

When planted near cropped areas the natural predators that these plots encourage can help to reduce the use pesticides as well as improving overall biodiversity.

Agrovista's pollen and nectar mixtures should be sown into a firm, fine, warm seedbed.
