All of our nurseries are operated at a high technical standard using the most advanced Bio-divers systems of production. This includes resistant varieties to both pests and diseases. We incorporate Biological controls, where predator and parasitic insects battle-damaging organisms, without the need for use of pesticides against specific problems and the use of insect pheromones to capture insect pests to tell us what is in the crop before it becomes a problem. Most crops are also grown on hydroponic mat systems that leave the fruit clear of contaminating soil and delivers good-quality products for our customers.

The company works closely with many European seed companies to trial new varieties and test new pest and disease-resistant products for our customers. Our aim is to be "Leading The Way" in the production of new crops and understand the latest developments in Pest and Disease control so that we can deliver products with minimal pesticide use.
