ORGANIC FARMING
Biological control has many advantages compared to conventional methods, with the most important being the safety of its application for humans and the environment. For the treatment of insect and fungal infestations, techniques are applied aiming to reduce or limit harmful organisms and pests, while also protecting humans, animals, and the environment from the toxic effects of chemical substances.
Biological control is an integral part of a comprehensive management strategy, which includes the use of
- Living natural enemies (e.g. insects, pathogens, nematodes, mites)
- Preparations derived from plant extracts aimed at reducing the levels of harmful plant organisms and
- Biostimulants for the prevention of biotic and abiotic stress
