Seipasa, a leading Spanish company specializing in bioinsecticides, biofungicides, biostimulants, and nutritional treatments for agriculture, has achieved another significant milestone. The company recently announced an extension of the approved uses of its flagship bioinsecticide, Pirecris, in Spain. This development, approved by the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, is set to revolutionize pest control for high-value crops like stone and pome fruit trees, berries (strawberry, blueberry, raspberry, blackberry), apricot, and persimmon.

New Horizons for Sustainable Pest Control

The extension of Pirecris’ registration broadens its application spectrum, providing growers with an innovative and sustainable biocontrol solution against pests in these high-value crops. With increasing restrictions on chemically synthesized active ingredients due to European regulations, this move comes at a critical time, offering a powerful alternative for integrated pest management strategies.

Francisco Romero, Seipasa’s Sales Manager in Spain, shared the company’s enthusiasm about this breakthrough, stating,
“The extension of the Pirecris label is the culmination of years of work and collaboration across our regulatory, technical, and R&D departments. It further strengthens our biocontrol portfolio, which now includes over 70 phytosanitary registrations across more than 30 countries.”

Why Pirecris Stands Out

Pirecris is no ordinary bioinsecticide. Designed with innovation and precision, it delivers a powerful knockdown effect to control insect populations effectively and sustainably. Its patented formulation leverages the perfect balance of PI and PII molecules, ensuring maximum efficacy with lower active ingredient doses. Here’s what makes Pirecris a game-changer:

1.Perfect Coverage
The micro-molecules in Pirecris’ formulation create a stable network throughout the solution, providing optimal coverage on both the leaf and the insect. This ensures maximum contact and efficacy.

2.Multi-Stage Action
Pirecris acts on eggs and larvae, significantly reducing the number of new pest generations. Its mode of action blocks the respiratory system of insects, causing swift mortality.

3.Residue-Free and Resistance-Free
Unlike conventional chemical pesticides, Pirecris does not generate resistance or leave chemical residues on crops, making it safe for growers, consumers, and the environment.

4.Pre-Harvest Application
With its short safety period, Pirecris can be applied right before harvest, offering growers unmatched flexibility in their pest control schedules.

Impact on High-Value Crops

The new label allows Pirecris to address some of the most challenging pests affecting crops like berries, stone fruits, and persimmons. These crops are not only economically significant but are also highly sensitive to pest damage. With the shrinking availability of chemical pest control options, Pirecris offers a sustainable solution to protect yields and maintain crop quality.

Seipasa’s Commitment to Growers

Seipasa’s commitment to innovation and sustainability is at the core of its mission. As Francisco Romero emphasized,
“Our commitment to growers is to develop registered biocontrol alternatives that help them protect their crops and farms effectively. The extension of Pirecris’ registration is a significant step forward in fulfilling this promise.”

With its extensive portfolio of biocontrol solutions, Seipasa continues to lead the charge in promoting sustainable agriculture worldwide.

Pirecris: Pioneering a New Era of Biocontrol

Pirecris’ success story is a testament to Seipasa’s dedication to research and innovation. Its ability to provide powerful pest control without chemical residues aligns with the growing demand for sustainable and environmentally friendly farming practices. With this new development, Seipasa has reinforced its position as a global leader in the biocontrol industry.

Looking Ahead

As the agricultural landscape evolves, solutions like Pirecris are paving the way for a greener and more sustainable future. By integrating cutting-edge science with a deep understanding of growers’ needs, Seipasa is not just offering products—it’s delivering results.

The extension of Pirecris’ approved uses is more than just a milestone; it’s a call to action for the industry to embrace innovation and sustainability in agriculture.
