Seipasa successfully completes the registration of natural pesticides
Seipasa successfully completed the registration of natural biopesticides, after years of research and improvement of demanding legal requirements. So products like biopesticides NAKAR and PIRECRIS represent the guarantee of a safe and healthy agriculture and a great support for farmers in their fight against pests.
In the current context, in which have been banning increasingly active substances by issues of food and environmental safety, the road to the record is long and perhaps too bureaucratic, but also demanding and comprehensive in meeting a requirements that not all pesticides can exceed. No wonder, the procedure for approval of substances and subsequently the corresponding formulated, can be prolonged to reach nearly a decade.
Precisely this difficulty is what gives greater solvency to those who reach the end of the ride, registration, and if it is biopesticides, as they are matched to chemical treatments in this demanding regulatory process.
Therefore, studies and advances in research and agricultural innovation become highly transcendental to this challenge, especially in the creation of natural treatments whose design and formulation require more knowledge and technique as in the case of synthetic, to achieve efficiency equivalent and better field performance.
Compatibility with biological control and the absence of waste makes this type of treatments an indispensable tool in Integrated Pest Management (IPM).
Chemical fertilizers next generation
In this way of environmental respect and sustainability have also located the latest research of SEIPASA from around the control of powdery mildew in fruit, with a 100% natural solution whose proven efficiency levels even exceed expectations.
As manifested by the results of a recent test developed in Cieza (Murcia) by Innovations for Agricultural Studies GOES, in peach, the formulated Seipasa (MECA and ECCA) get powdery mildew control at all times comparable to chemical program.
Severity of leaf damage.
As detailed by the center’s director, Rafael Perez, in a technical conference on the results of efficacy trial, formulated MECA and ECCA, in foliar application, “have managed to reduce and control damage of Sphaerotheca pannosa Wallsr in peach outdoor”.
It is concluded from this study that treatment programs Seipasa demonstrate excellent control of powdery mildew damage in both fruits and peach sheets.
Incidence of damage to fruit.
For its part, the Director of the Technical Department SEIPASA, Xavier Nácher explained the properties and advantages of using these products as well as the keys for inclusion in the strategies of Integrated Pest Management. As he explained, it is a formulation with a strong eradicant effect: “It inhibits the development of vegetative mycelium -vegetative apparatus of fungi which serves to feed themselves- and prevents colonization and penetration of it in the plant tissue.” This ensures dry stains, cut sporulation, controlling the spread and eradicate the disease, said Nácher.
Ana Maria Ortega Gea, Professor of the Department of Plant Production and Microbiology Polytechnic School of Orihuela, specializing in diagnostics phytopathogenic fungi was also present at the meeting where emphasized the importance and epidemiology of this disease.
