Seipasa's bioinsecticide Pirecris, now also available for citrus, peach, cherry and plum trees in Spain

Seipasa, a Spanish company specialising in the development, formulation and production of bioinsecticides, biofungicides, biostimulants and nutritional treatments for agriculture, has obtained a new extension of approved uses for its bioinsecticide Pirecris in the Spanish market. 

The new label, approved by the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, allows the product to be used on citrus fruits, nut trees (almond, hazelnut, walnut, pistachio and chestnut), cherry and plum trees, consolidating its presence in segments where phytosanitary options are increasingly limited.

This label extension comes just a few months after the approval of Pirecris on red fruits, stone and pome fruit trees, persimmon and apricot, among others, reinforcing its positioning as an effective and versatile tool in integrated pest management. 

With this new addition, Pirecris becomes a bioinsecticide with an even broader spectrum of action, offering growers a sustainable and high performance alternative in pest control.

The evolution of the Pirecris registration responds to the growing need in the agricultural sector for biological solutions to help meet the challenges posed by the reduction of chemical active substances on the marketplace. The addition of new crops to the label is a step forward in Seipasa’s strategy to provide growers with innovative and sustainable tools to protect their crops.

About Pirecris

Pirecris is a bioinsecticide that provides a powerful knockdown effect to control insect populations quickly and safely. It has an exclusive and patented formulation based on the perfect balance of PI and PII molecules that make up the active ingredient, allowing it to deliver maximum insecticidal efficacy with a lower dose of active ingredient. 

The micromolecules that make up the formulation condense to form a stable and balanced network throughout the solution, providing perfect coverage on the leaf and insect. 

Pirecris has a strong insecticidal effect that works by blocking the insect’s respiratory system, causing its death. The product acts on the eggs and larvae, resulting in a very significant reduction in the number of new generations.

Pirecris does not generate resistance, does not leave chemical residues on the fruit and its short safety period allows its application immediately prior to harvest.
