We have spent years supporting and training our farmers on how to conduct biological control over our crops, and starting this year, biological control has become mandatory for all our partners on part of their plots. We have implemented this three-year project with the help of our partner Koppert in our cooperative with 100% of our partners. This guarantees that extra step within our quality control process.

Fresón de Palos applies Integrated Pest Control Management (IPCM) strategies over its strawberry and berry production area. With this firm commitment to sustainability, Fresón de Palos has established biological control as a priority pest control method with the goal of avoiding treatments with chemical pesticides. The most important advantages compared to conventional chemical control is that biological control does not lead the pests to develop resistance and does not leave residue on the fruit or in the environment.
