AGRALAN IS A SPECIALIST COMPANY
offering a range of products which allow growers to reduce, rationalise
or avoid the need for pesticide applications. Parallel to this,
Agralan also market a range of Home and Garden Products.
Enviromesh is widely used by organic growers for the production
of vegetable crops. However, it is increasingly being used by
conventional growers for the production of high value crops against
the weather and pests. As the availability of effective pesticides
reduces, so the importance of Enviromesh to conventional growers
will become of increasing importance.
Insect monitoring systems are an essential aid to integrated crop
management. The traditional attitude of routine spraying is now
outmoded. Justification for pesticide application is now commonly
required and the precise timing of sprays is often essential to
achieve effective control.
