Integrated Pest Management System
The first step towards pest management in agriculture is prevention.
At Finca El Faro, we employ various management techniques throughout the plants life stages which allow us to stay away from pesticides as much as possible and limit the application of synthetic fertilizers to the mere necessity.
If the employment of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides were necessary, we would take into consideration the records of threshold economic damage which are responsible to determine the moment at which the application of any given product becomes imminent.
The techniques employed throughout the plants life stages; from nursery to the moment when they are established on the field, are part of an integrated pest management system.
