ApresLabs Ltd is actively pursuing the use of environmentally-friendly synergists to minimise the rate of xenobiotics required to confer control of insect species.
Whilst synthetic insecticides remain the primary method for the control of agricultural insect pests, negative issues arising as a result of their prolonged or excessive usage include: environmental damage, pollinator poisoning and insecticide resistance. Smart formulations with novel synergists can reduce both problems of resistance and environmental damage.
“As a company committed to reducing the use of conventional chemistries for the control of agricultural pests and advocating IPM strategies, ApresLabs Ltd is ideally based at the world-renowned institute that is Rothamsted Research.
