CoreBiotechnology and Biocontrol protecting the future of agriculture
Protecting the future of agriculture in a sustainable way.
Agriculture has played a crucial role in world life and food practically since its inception more than 10,000 years ago when the first men began to cultivate plants and raise animals for food. Since then, it has evolved with the adoption of more efficient cultivation techniques to a modern agriculture, driven by technological advances such as mechanization, genetic engineering and precision agriculture.
However, the massive adoption of intensive practices, such as the excessive use of fertilizers and pesticides, has led to the pollution of soil and water, as well as the loss of biodiversity. In addition, deforestation to open new cultivation areas has contributed to climate change. This has encouraged a change in the paradigm of farmers and input supply companies, creating awareness and migrating towards sustainable agriculture.
Two Colombian companies were among the first in Latin America to commit to this objective, CoreBioTechnology and Biocontrol, which since 20 years ago have offered colombian agriculture and now the world sustainable solutions based on microorganisms for the nutrition and protection of crops.
Two companies with the same focus: Sustainable agriculture
CoreBiotechnology is a company specialized in the production of biological products, led by Carlos Delgado, who for more than 35 years has been one of the main references for biological products in Latin America. Its products are made from unique strains of microorganisms.
- Bassicore SC: Biological insecticide formulated based on Beauveria bassiana, specialist in the control of chewing-sucking pests, thrips and some beetles.
- Subtikind EC: Broad-spectrum biological fungicide formulated with Bacillus subtilis, designed to control fungal foliar diseases, fungal soil diseases and bacteria.
- Nemagrip WP: Biological nematicide with excellent ovicidal effect, made from Paecilomyces lilacinus.
- Fungigrasp WP: Made from Trichoderma harzianum, it is a biological fungicide focused on soil application and for the control of pathogenic fungi.
- Corethur WP: biological insecticide that acts on various species in their larvae stage. Contains Bacillus thuringiensis var. Kurstaki, which works by activating its insecticidal proteins once inside the body of the pest.
Biocontrol is a leading company in the formulation of biological solutions for the control of pests and diseases in crops. Its focus on biosecurity and biodiversity conservation ensures a balance between crop protection and environmental degradation.
- Subtilin SL: formulated with highly concentrated Bacillus subtilis, it is a biological fungicide designed for foliar application to control a wide spectrum of diseases such as Botrytis, Black Sigatoka (Mycosphaerella fijiensis) and other pathogens.
- Trichobiol WP: Composed by Trichoderma lignorum. It acts against a wide range of phytopathological fungi transmitted by soil and air. Against rots in a wide range of species, caused by Fusarium, Rhizoctonia, Pythium.
- Nutribiol SL: Contains bacteria of the genus Azospirillum and Azotobacter. They favor plant growth due to the ability to fix atmospheric nitrogen.
- Bassianil WP: Biological insecticide formulated from Beauveria bassiana with excellent performance against insects of the order Hemiptera, coffee berry borer, beetles, thrips, among others.
Oriented towards biochemical control of pests and diseases
The biological products presented comply with the highest quality standards and their effectiveness in the field is remarkable, however, they do not have the capacity to solve all problems 100%, it is therefore necessary to have the capacity to make them compatible with conventional products, in a “Biochemical” control strategy of pests and diseases.
