For decades, increasing yields have been ensured by using chemical crop protection However, with increasing use, the resistance of harmful organisms also increases - meaning that the effectiveness of plant protection products is stagnating. Fewer permits are being issued for plant protection products with new active ingredients.
Furthermore, consumer acceptance of chemical pesticides is declining, and new health and environmental goals require a sharp reduction in their usage.
PÖTTINGER accepts these challenges and now includes mechanical crop care machines in its product range for sustainable, crop-specific and site-specific plant protection.
