Microbes at work

Biological plant protection utilizes nature’s own methods in the prevention of plant diseases and pests. It is based on ecological balance, where each and every living thing has a place of its very own in nature, its own biological niche. In biological plant protection pathogens are controlled by their natural enemies – microbes isolated from nature.

Prevent the diseases in advance

Beneficial microbes added to the growth substrate colonize the plant root system before any pathogens have a chance to set in. Because biological plant protection is preventative, treatments must be started before the incidence of disease. In addition to their control of plant pathogens, microbes also enhance biological activity in the substrate, promoting well-being and stress resistance of plants.

Best results by correct cultivation methods

A successful program of plant protection requires comprehensive cultivation management. Good cultivation hygiene combined with biological plant protection effectively prevents plant diseases. The right cultivation techniques guarantee optimum conditions for effective beneficial microbial activity, thus preventing the spread of plant pathogens.

Higher degree of foodstuff purity

Consumers and authorities are demanding increasingly stringent standards for foodstuff purity. Indeed, purity and environmentally friendly farming techniques have given a competitive edge to farmers. Biological plant protection products allow for a higher degree of purity, while maintaining effective cultivation. They leave no harmful residues in the plants or in the surrounding environment and do not disturb the ecological balance.

More profitable plant protection

Ecological balance, environmental friendliness and effective plant production are not necessarily in conflict with one another. Verdera biological plant protection products improve productivity and plant vitality, using nature’s own methods. These agents achieve long-term protection against pathogens and enhance growth without putting a strain on the environment.

Safe and environmentally benign products

Verdera biological plant protection products are easy and safe to use. They are not harmful to the user or to the environment. Furthermore, they can be used safely together with other biopesticides. The use of biological plant protection products will not lead to the formation of resistant pathogen strains, which is often a risk with the use of chemical protection agents. They leave no harmful residues on crops, and require no safety period between application and harvest.
