Why is it important?
It is important to apply innovative formulations of plant protection products that are safer both for plants and the environment.
Perspectives
To reduce the negative environmental impact of plant protection products, the synthetic insecticide Eforia may be used at doses below label rate and in combinations with the mineral oil Akarzin as an ecological approach to integrated pest control.
