During autumn, pepper and cucumber crops enter a critical phase. This is when Thrips parvispinus populations peak, threatening both the quality and profitability of the harvest. At this stage, strengthening biological control with ORIcontrol Cold and POWERfood 3.0 is key to boosting crop protection.
At Hall 9 of IFEMA Madrid, from September 30th to October 2nd, a vibrant space will showcase a true revolution in agriculture: functional biodiversity as a key to the future of agriculture.
This year, Agrobío arrives at Fruit Attraction 2025 celebrating thirty years at the forefront of biological pest control and natural pollination. At stand 9E22, visitors are invited to step into a living ecosystem—an immersive experience where innovative biological solutions are not just displayed, but brought to life.
Autumn signals the beginning of a challenging campaign for growers, especially those cultivating peppers and cucumbers. Thrips —and in particular Thrips parvispinus— pose a serious threat to crop profitability. The good news? There are sustainable and effective tools available.
