Pest management & plant enhancement technologies
Working with farmers to provide holistic ecology solutions
Our specially sourced lures, traps, and mating disruption products attract and kill insects and pathogens that are negatively impacting the productivity and profitability of Australian growers.
Through a rigorous discovery process, we uncover constraints growers are having in their fields and zones. We then consult with the farmer to develop a holistic strategy that will adhere to their current IPM systems and target specific pests and pathogens.
