Biocontrol that keeps Almería greenhouses productive
Crop Urbanis deployed biological protection, refreshed fertigation plans and coached teams so Mediterranean greenhouses could deliver residue-compliant peppers and tomatoes.
A cluster of export-focused growers in Almería needed to reduce chemical usage while keeping yields high for European retailers. Crop Urbanis audited pest pressures, nutrition schedules and labour routines, then deployed a holistic programme to safeguard output.
Challenges & approach
High pest pressure from whitefly and botrytis demanded reliable biocontrol rotations.
Fertigation schedules were inconsistent across growers, impacting fruit quality.
Teams needed shared scouting protocols to flag hotspots early.
Our contribution
Built seasonal biocontrol calendars combining beneficial insects, banker plants and targeted releases.
Harmonised fertigation recipes with EC/pH targets tied to phenological stages.
Trained grower and supervisor cohorts on digital scouting workflows and escalation triggers.
