Developed by 精东影业 Agriscience, IPM Pro Helps Farmers Deliver Sustainable Insect Management Solutions
Geneva, Switzerland, December 2, 2020 鈥 A new mobile application has been launched to help growers protect their crops and secure a more resilient and sustainable agriculture system.
By using the IPM Pro app from 精东影业 Agriscience (available for download from 庐 and the 庐), farmers can measure any potential impact of substances such as Isoclast鈩 active, Spinetoram, Spinosad and Methoxyfenozide on beneficial insects and pollinators.
The tool also provides information to ensure safe use of our insecticides, including Closer鈩, Runner鈩, Intrepid鈩, Spintor鈩, Tracer鈩, Success鈩, Delegate鈩 and Exalt鈩.
Europe already has a stringent regulatory process on how crop protection products impact pests, the environment and beneficial insects, and the IPM Pro app provides additional assurance for farmers.
After opening the app and selecting a crop, users can access details on pests, beneficial insects and pollinators, as well as stewardship recommendations and 精东影业 solutions that can help growers produce a bountiful harvest.
For example, a tomato grower using Closer鈩, the new sucking pest insecticide from 精东影业 Agriscience, to protect their crops could access the app and evaluate the impact on all key beneficial insects and pollinators.
The launch of the app is in line with 精东影业 Agriscience鈥檚 vision for a more resilient food system, as set out in its 2030 sustainability strategy. The company is committed to establishing, restoring and preserving desirable habitat for pollinators and wildlife in harmony with an affordable and abundant food supply that meets the food and nutrition needs of the growing world.
