Introducing our latest Biological Solution - Khito SC!🌿 Khito SC: A novel Plant Derived Fungicide Khito SC is a highly bio-active fungicide derived from natural plant sources. It offers broad-spectrum control against various fungal pathogens, making it an essential tool for plant protection. The primary active ingredient in Khito SC is an extract from Rheum officinale baill, a plant known for its unique mode of action. This natural extract serves as the foundation for Khito SC's effectiveness. Khito SC is classified as a “protective fungicide” due to its ability to activate the plant's own immune system. It does so by: Eliciting Systemic Acquired Resistance (SAR): This process involves priming the plant's immune system to respond more robustly to pathogen attacks. Inducing Systemic Resistance (ISR): Khito SC stimulates the plant to enhance its defense mechanisms against invading pathogens. Through these processes, Khito SC empowers plants to activate their own defence systems, offering a proactive approach to pathogen control. #biologicals #biologicalsolutions #andermattmadumbi #Andermatt #healthyfood #healthyenvironment #agriculture #biologicalsinagriculture #IPM #sustainablefarming #greenfarming #farmingforthefuture #bethechange

This is a true success story of a commercial macadamia farm that had a vision to change the way they farm and explore sustainability and regenerative farming practices.🌿 An inspiring interview with an equally inspiring grower, Trichard Erasmus from WelMac (Welgevonden Macadamia) in Levubu. Thank you to our partners Laeveld Agrochem and Xander van der Walt for the support. https://lnkd.in/d4Z-PJkR Learn more about Welmac farms here: https://www.welmac.nl/

Tips on Working with Baculoviruses🌿 Good spray coverage is essential when working with baculoviruses. When considering which area of the plant should be sprayed for best efficacy, ask yourself these questions: ·  Where does the pest occur on the plant? ·  Where are the eggs laid? ·  Where do the small larvae feed? REMEMBER: The product needs to be ingested by the larvae to have an effect. #biologicals #biologicalsolutions #andermattmadumbi #Andermatt #healthyfood #healthyenvironment #agriculture #biologicalsinagriculture #IPM #greenfarming #farmingforthefuture #bethechange #Baculovirus #BiologicaInsecticide #SustainableFarming #NaturalPestControl #IntegratedPestManagement #HelpfulTips

Application timing is important and is one of the factors that determines the efficacy of baculovirus products.🌿 •Target eggs and first instar larvae. •Some species feed on eggshells during hatching, as such the application on eggs can be useful in these cases. •Mortality of young larvae is quicker and results in less crop damage (L1/L2 larvae die faster than L3-L6 larvae). •Usually, bigger larvae incur quicker feeding damage on leaves and fruits. Ideally start to apply baculovirus products with the hatching of eggs and cover the whole egg-hatching period. #Baculovirus #BiologicaInsecticide #SustainableFarming #NaturalPestControl #IntegratedPestManagement #HelpfulTips #HealthyFoodHealthyEnvironment

The season is picking up speed and our extended summer opening hours at the Western Cape Distribution Center is there for added convenience and support. Good luck to all our farmers during this busy time. 🌿 #biologicals #biologicalsolutions #andermattmadumbi #Andermatt #healthyfood #healthyenvironment #agriculture #biologicalsinagriculture #famingforthefuture #bethechange

LAC Delmas earned the prestigious Green Jersey award for their resilience and perseverance following challenging row crop season/s and uncontrollable climate conditions. Despite these hurdles, they demonstrated remarkable year-on-year growth by integrating biorational solutions into their programs, solutions that are not only effective but also economically viable. Ben Krog and Attie Odendaal from Andermatt Madumbi were proud to present this award to Laeveld Agrochem Delmas.

Remember, when working with biologicals scouting is your friend!🌿 1. Scouting helps identify pest problems early, allowing biologicals to suppress the population before it escalates. 2.Unlike chemical pesticides, biological products often need precise timing and conditions to be most effective. Scouting provides real-time data on pest presence and life stages, ensuring that biological controls are applied at the right moment for maximum impact. 3.Regular scouting helps monitor pest population dynamics, preventing the overuse of any single method. This promotes Integrated Pest Management (IPM) practices, reducing the risk of pests developing resistance. 4.Scouting helps avoid unnecessary treatments. By only applying biological products when needed, farmers can reduce costs while maintaining effective pest control. 5.Regular scouting minimises the need for broad-spectrum insecticides, protecting beneficial organisms like pollinators and natural enemies, and supporting a healthier ecosystem. #biologicals #biologicalsolutions #andermattmadumbi #Andermatt #healthyfood #healthyenvironment #agriculture #biologicalsinagriculture #IPM #sustainablefarming #greenfarming #farmingforthefuture #bethechange #scouting
