Thrips parvispinus has become a rising threat to vegetable crops, particularly peppers. This invasive pest doesn’t just affect the commercial quality of the fruit—it can put the entire crop at risk if you don’t act fast.
Poinsettia Goes Natural— More and more growers and nurseries are turning to biological control for poinsettias to produce healthy, vibrant, and residue-free plants. The results speak for themselves. In southeastern Spain alone, over two million plants are now protected using natural enemies—thanks to Agrobío, a pioneer in this technique for more than a decade. The Almería-based company is already involved in more than 70% of biologically controlled poinsettia production in the region.
And the movement is spreading. Portugal, Italy, France, the UK, and Mexico are also embracing this effective and sustainable way to protect ornamental crops.

Agrobío, a leader in biological solutions for agriculture, is advancing its most comprehensive biological control strategy for cucumber crops, reinforcing its position as a benchmark in sustainable pest management.
This approach integrates natural predators, such as T. montdorensis (MONcontrol) and A. swirskii (SWIRScontrol), along with Orius and the feed supplement POWERmite 3.0, to provide complete and preventive thrips control from the start of cultivation, offering a significant advantage to farmers.

Agrobío promotes the use of biological control and agroecological infrastructure to combat emerging pests in subtropical crops such as papaya, passion fruit, dragon fruit, avocado, and mango.
The current pest situation affecting tropical crops is more challenging than it was a few years ago. Rising temperatures and lack of rainfall are worsening the pest issues in subtropical crops, surpassing economic damage thresholds in some affected tropical species. Emerging pests, their accelerated reproduction, and the reduced efficacy of certain phytosanitary treatments have driven producers to seek more sustainable alternatives.
