Orchard management

We have developed a range of products to enable sustainable production and management at an orchard level.

Products include:

  • Specialised products for the biological control of pests and diseases (BotryZen® Blossom Bless)
  • Proprietary software to log and track pesticide and spray usage (SprayView, SprayLog)
  • Desire® pheromone traps and lures for insect control and pest monitoring.

These products are part of our wider expertise in IFP (Integrated Fruit Production). IFP (Integrated Fruit Production ) is the economic production of market quality fruit, giving priority to methods that are the safest possible to the environment and to human health. The programme emphasises an integrated approach to pest and disease management, encourages monitoring to determine if pest and disease thresholds have been exceeded, and gives preference to non-chemical controls.
