What is the difference between bioprotectors and conventional pesticides?

The main difference is that bioprotectors are formulated with natural ingredients that respect the environment, whereas conventional pesticides are usually chemical and have a greater impact on the environment.

Are bioprotectors compatible with organic farming?

Yes, all our bioprotectors are designed for use in organic farming, ensuring they comply with current regulations for responsible and sustainable agricultural production. They can also be used in conjunction with biological control, enhancing the effectiveness of natural parasites and predators used to combat pests.

What is the best bioprotector for each crop?

It depends on the type of crop and the specific pest or pathogen to be controlled. At Quelagrow, we have a team of experts who can advise you on choosing the most suitable solution based on your crop's specific needs.

What advantages does bioprotection offer compared to traditional chemical solutions?

Bioprotection provides a more sustainable and safer solution, minimizing the impact on soil, water, and biodiversity. Additionally, it reduces the risk of pest resistance, maintaining consistent effectiveness.

What are the most recommended types of insecticides for agriculture?

The main agricultural insecticides are divided into biological, contact, and systemic types. The choice depends on the pest, the crop, and its growth stage.

What precautions should I take when applying insecticides to crops?

It is essential to follow each product's instructions, use appropriate protective equipment, and avoid applying during periods of high pollinator activity, such as when bees are active.

Can agricultural insecticides be used in organic farming?

Yes, some biological insecticides are approved for use in organic farming. These products, formulated with natural ingredients, are an excellent option for protecting crops without harming the environment.

How can I determine the best insecticide for my crop?

Our team at Quelagrow can advise you on selecting the most suitable agricultural insecticide based on the type of pest and the specific needs of your crop.

TYPE OF PRODUCT

QUELAKAN is a new strategy for combating thrips in horticultural and fruit crops.

ADVANTAGES OF THE NATURAL INSECTICIDE

Especially useful against thrips that are already in formed fruit and feed directly on them. The indirect action of QUELAKAN significantly reduces commercial damage.

CHARACTERISTICS OF QUELAFERT® QUELAKAN

A plant mixture with synergistic properties, rich in secondary metabolites, it reduces the availability of certain ions, thus depriving pathogens of certain nutrients, while at the same time constituting molecular signals that regulate various reactions associated with plant defences. Another characteristic is its role in the plant’s own production of orthoquinones and melanins.

Effective for wide pH ranges between 6.5 and 8.5, it is water soluble and perfectly stabilised.
