Upgrades give Mirical macrolophus longer shelf life
The investigation focused on the entire chain, and more than fifteen different aspects were checked. Andre Bloem (TQM coordinator at Koppert) explains, "A lot of hard work has been done on this project. We have tested the modifications in various longer-term processes. With the new carrier material, and on condition that the modified transport conditions are strictly adhered to, the shelf life of the product Mirical has been extended by 100%. That is a result to be proud of."
Product manager Tim Bossinga adds, "We are dealing with live material. The management of the logistical process is something that sets Koppert apart from competitors. However, that doesn't change the fact that natural enemies simply have a short life span. That's why we still recommend that the product be used immediately after receipt."
