Agrobío, a leader in biological solutions for agriculture, is advancing its most comprehensive biological control strategy for cucumber crops, reinforcing its position as a benchmark in sustainable pest management.
This approach integrates natural predators, such as T. montdorensis (MONcontrol) and A. swirskii (SWIRScontrol), along with Orius and the feed supplement POWERmite 3.0, to provide complete and preventive thrips control from the start of cultivation, offering a significant advantage to farmers.
Biological control remains the most effective tool for managing various species of thrips. Orius laevigatus, which revolutionized the biological control of Frankliniella occidentalis in pepper crops in 2006, is once again in the spotlight with: ORIcontrol Cold from Agrobio, tackling pests such as Thrips parvispinus and Scirtothrips dorsalis, among others.
ORIcontrol Cold, positions itself as the most potent Orius on the market, standing out for its large size and voracity. Exclusively from Agrobio, it has earned the trust of leading producers by demonstrating exceptional results in seedbeds and nurseries as well as in the field. Achieving Agrobio’s goal of maintaining a clean plant from planting throughout the entire production cycle.
Agrobio presents POWERfood 3.0, an innovative feed that multiplies Orius Cold, Swirskii, and Montdorensis in crops. This new feed enhances the action of predators to ensure successful preventive biological control against Thrips parvispinus.
Innovation in biological control against Thrips parvispinus
For years, vegetable growers have used Agrobio’s Orius, Swirskii, and Montdorensis to manage Frankiniella occidentalis. However, the new and resistantThrips parvispinus requires advanced solutions. In response, Agrobio has developed POWERfood 3.0, a revolutionary diet that optimizes biological control.
