Bioiberica’s Plant physiology Division was present at the Senafrut 2012 seminar, held in Santa Catarina, Brazil

Senafrut 2012, a seminar in warm climate agriculture, was held on 26-28 June 2012 at the town of São Joaquim, Santa Catarina (The state of Santa Catarina is considered the coldest in Brazil).The staff of the EPAGRI (Empresa de PesquisaAgropecuária e Extensão Rural de Santa Catarina) attended this fair, along with a number of agriculture experts and Apple and grape growers: apples and grapes are the two most common crops in the state of Santa Catarina. Apple-growing is the most traditional crop in that region, whereas wine grapes began to be produced in large quantities in Brazil only five-ten years ago.

Many attendees paid a visit to the Wiser stand to receive specific information about Bioibérica’s products against plant stress. Large-scale apple producers showed remarkable interest in our products against cold-induced stress during the plant’s bud break, whereas many other visitors were regular consumers of Terra Sorb Foliar ® andFitaminCaB plus ®.

The Wiser staff gave information to anyone who was interestedabout the upcoming approval of our environmentally- friendly product for the control of the fruit fly, Cera Trap ®. Field trials are currently being carried out in Brazilto test its effectiveness against the Anastrephafrateculus fly, the most harmful fruit pest in that country.
