Ceratitis capitata control on table grapes in Spain by the mass-trapping system Cera Trap®

The Mediterranean fruit fly (Medfly) ,Ceratitis capitata,is a world wide agricultural pest with an extremely high invasive potential, which makes this species difficult to control. Mass trapping techniques a recurrently one of the most common control methods applied against Medfly as an alternative to standard insecticide sprays. CeraTrap® is a pesticide-free attractant formulation of natural origin, based on a liquid protein mixture obtained by an exclusive enzymatic hydrolysis.CeraTrap®(...

Prevención y control integrado del oídio con Armurox® en cultivos de hortícolas y fresón.

Entre las enfermedades de origen fúngico que afectan a los cultivos hortícolas destaca por su importancia epidemiológica el oídio. Armurox® es un inductor de resistencia en base a un complejo de péptidos y Silicio soluble, desarrollado por el departamento de I+D de Bioibérica. Los objetivos del presente trabajo son mostrar algunas de las experiencias en cultivos hortícolas y fresón, así como elucidar su mecanismo de acción en un patosistema modelo.
