Creating balance: plague control the organic way

Organic is about balance. It’s about taking advantage of what nature has to offer to keep our soil and plants healthy.

Here is an example of how we control plagues organically in our fields.

In the picture shown there’s a little brown box hanging on the plant. Inside of it there’s a small wasp. As soon as the wasp grows bigger, it gets out of the box in search of food.

Its main food is a type of larva that eats the corn and is considered one of the most dangerous plagues that attack maize fields.

Larva plague has been eradicated for many years now using this type of natural control.
