	'Kisima was one of the first farms to implement IPM and we have never looked back. Insecticide use has been cut by 75% and the product quality has improved as a result of fewer chemical. It is a much better working environment. We are very keen to control all our pests with IPM as soon as the predators are available' - Martin Dyer

Private Limited Company | Cordia

Acaricide use lt/kg:
	'The IPM greenhouses receive no acaricides, this is a savings of on average two sprays a month (4kg/ha). Estimated increase in yield of 5-10%. The plants are healthier, quality is better particularly of the leaf and bud. The control of thrips and caterpillars is more difficult, IPM control would be much better. The green houses not on IPM will have IPM introduced, and the control of other pests and diseases will have IPM wherever possible.' Mr. Owen, Farm Manager
