Advantages

Regarding chemical pesticides, the possibility of their application is regulated by their release periods from the plant. Typically, these periods are from 30 to 60 days before harvesting (waiting period). In fact, it is approximately a half of the entire vegetation period, during which plants remain barely protected.

Biopesticides do not have these restrictions, in other words, they can be applied at any stage of the harvest’s ripening (up until harvesting), as they do not contain any harmful chemical compounds. Your harvest will never ever face the pest one on one!

In addition, there are no minimal outgoing dates for biological pesticides which is especially important in orchards or greenhouse farms.

Our products’ manufacturing in based on unique technologies, developed with consideration of the achievements of Russian science, and fully localized on the Russian soil in Abinsk, Krasnodar krai region.

We are not dependent from active substances, raw materials, or spare parts for the equipment import. By maintaining such an independent position, we remove the risk of a crop loss due to product or active substance non-delivery due to border closures, international sanctions etc. from our customers.

In order to sustainably maintain global biodiversity, both World Health Organization and Food and Agriculture Organization consider using pesticides only when it is financially justified and reduces/minimizes health risks. Special attention is given to healthy products, obtained with minimal possible ecosystem disruption and conservation of natural pest controlling mechanisms.

International code of conduct on pesticide management imposes the following standards: risk minimization in the process of pesticide application, preference to those substances that require relatively simple equipment and personal protection, stimulation of development and introduction of biological products, non-chemical pesticides and target-specific pesticides that dissolve quickly and safe for humans and the environment.

For example, as only biological pesticides fully comply with the abovementioned international standards, the EU countries have committed to apply no less than 50% of biological pesticides by 2030 (2.2.2. in EU Biodiversity Strategy for 2030, approved in Brussels 20.05.2020).

Since January 1, 2020 a Federal Law №280-ФЗ “On organic products…” has come into power, prohibiting the use of pesticides, agrochemicals, antibiotics, and growth stimulators, except for the ones that are directly allowed for growing ecologically clean agricultural products.

For manufacturing of its products “BIOTA” Ltd uses bacterial cultures that are admitted to the list of the products, allowed for organic agriculture in EU (according to ECOCERT Groupe data), as well as in other countries such as the US, Canada, and Mexico (according to Organic Material Review Institute data).

In Russia, all the biological plant protection products of “BIOTA” Ltd are admitted to the List of means of production for organic agriculture by the Union of Organic Agriculture.
