Build local production around the growers you serve.

Our team has worked in biocontrol since 2013. We have built production facilities; today our franchise programme brings rearing know-how, quality procedures and training to partners developing local production.

Built on production experience

Biocontrol experience since 2013.

We have built production facilities, developed rearing processes and quality routines, and trained the teams who operate them. Our experience connects the biology with the daily work of a biolab.

The next stage is scaling our franchise network and passing that practical experience on to local production partners.

See the work behind a living batch.

Choose an operation to see what happens and what the team needs to record. This is the proposed workflow; digital connections are configured for each project.

  1. Keep the starting lines identifiable.

    Each feeder culture has its own substrate and handling protocol. Connect it to the predator line it supports.

Look closer. This is where the work begins.

Real laboratory footage shows the culture under magnification. It gives a view of the material being handled and examined, beyond a diagram of the process.

The recording retains its original tracking marks. It includes feeder-mite labels; the percentages describe that archived analysis, not current species-recognition accuracy.

Separate lines. A defined crossing sequence.

The method describes a breeding process; the quality of a production batch still requires its own checks.

The published example maintains three lines of one predatory-mite species on different feeder mites. Line 1 is crossed with line 2; their offspring are then crossed with line 3. This sequence is described in Russian patent RU2757111C1, published on 11 October 2021.

A BioLab project uses 20-ft ISO modules. Layout, equipment and the species portfolio are defined together with site conditions and the responsibilities of the local team.

A controlled environment for each culture.

A climate cabinet brings the conditions closer to the culture. Define the temperature, humidity and observation schedule for the species and process, then retain those observations with the batch.

Separate cultures, rearing conditions and routine operations.

Inspection

Microscopy, samples and quality records.

Dispatch

Packing, batch identification and order preparation.

ObserveBioControler / BioScouter

Let the greenhouse guide the next delivery.

Begin with a particular crop and area. BioControler is designed around crop condition and input history; BioScouter is being developed for visits and field observations.

  1. Observe

    Record the zone, date, pests, beneficial organisms and recent treatments. Add useful photographs.

  2. Assess

    An agronomist reviews the context and agrees the next step with the grower.

  3. Plan supply

    Relate the required species, quantity and timing to the agreed programme and batch availability.

  4. Check again

    Return after the release. Compare observations and adjust the programme when needed.

Describe your greenhouse situation

Availability of BioScouter and automatic links to BioLab is confirmed for each deployment.

Teach the operation. Test the improvement. Share the method.

Local production depends on people who understand the culture. Training begins with actual operations and the evidence needed to judge their result.

Teach the operation. Test the improvement. Share the method.
  1. Practise

    Carry out an operation with guidance and inspect the result.

  2. Document

    Keep the culture, conditions and sample result attached to the work.

  3. Validate

    Compare an improvement with the existing process before extending its use.

  4. Share

    Turn a verified change into an updated protocol and local training.

Automation follows a verified task.

Counting, anomaly detection and handling are areas for AI and robotics development. Each step needs suitable examples, testing and a route for human intervention. Fully autonomous production remains the goal.

Check the conditions behind a compatibility result.

Search by organism and substance. Read the source, life stage, dose, exposure and assessment time; compare records or export a selection for review.

Scientific observations and supplier categories remain distinct. Missing data does not establish compatibility; the calculator does not choose a release rate.

Before you plan a project

What does a production project include?

The scope brings together breeding methods, a BioLab layout, operating records and team training. The species, equipment, implementation support and division of responsibilities are agreed for the particular site.

Which species should we produce?

Start with target crops, pest pressure, local demand and the team’s operating capacity. The species portfolio and production plan need a project review; a generic container capacity is not enough to select them.

Can the facility already operate without people?

Fully autonomous production is a development goal. Culture handling, quality decisions and deployment require a responsible team. AI and robotic tasks need validation for their intended operating conditions.

What is needed for an initial proposal?

For production, describe the country, target crops, demand, local team and available site. For a greenhouse programme, provide crop, area, pest and relevant treatments. These details come before equipment choices and financial assumptions.

Tell us what you want to build—or what your crop needs.

A useful first conversation starts with your location and a real operating question.
