Whether it is with the aim of integrating biocontrol solutions or reducing the use of synthetic plant protection products (PPP), our sporty vision of risk management allows us to pool existing solutions and our innovations to meet tomorrow's challenges.
The production of a perennial crop such as apples in orchards must deal with multiple biotic stresses between pests (aphids, codling moth, etc.) and fungal and bacterial diseases. The most important problem in orchards is the management of scab caused by the pathogen Venturia inaequalis. The development of this pathogen is exponential, which makes it difficult to manage.
MEDINBIO has proposed the integration of new natural alternatives into the scab management program.

MEDINBIO has studied the natural alternatives already used to manage this problem. Farmers use mixtures of copper and sulphur as a preventive measure and sulphocalcic spray as a curative measure. The latter, although effective, is not easy to spray.
In order to be able to propose new complementary solutions, MEDINBIO studied the development cycle of the fungus. The proposals made by MEDINBIO are based on different stages of the pathogen's development cycle.
Products used :
During the vegetative phase, MEDINBIO proposes the use of biostimulants such as the GREENFLASH compound rich in trace elements, amino acids and glycine betaine.
The integration of these products into the arborist's itinerary has increased plant vigor while reducing a major source of primary scab inoculum.
