"Bioinsumos"

la alternativa a los plaguicidas tradicionales

El uso de agroquímicos, también llamados plaguicidas, para el control de malezas y plagas, junto con el desarrollo tecnológico, permitió el avance de la frontera agrícola en Argentina.

La producción de granos en Argentina creció de forma considerable. Por ejemplo entre 1970 y el 2013 hubo un incremento del 185,3% de superficie sembrada.

Sin embargo, los plaguicidas también generan efectos perjudiciales en la biodiversidad, en el ambiente, la salud de las personas y sobre la conservación del suelo.

Pero... ¿qué son los plaguicidas?

“Cualquier sustancia o mezcla de sustancias destinadas a prevenir, destruir o controlar cualquier plaga [...]”.

El más usado en el mundo es el glifosato. Categorizado por la Agencia Internacional para la Investigación del Cáncer (IARC) como probablemente cancerígeno para los seres humanos.

Ante esta situación, surgió una alternativa, la agroecología.

Es un sistema de producción que, al estar basado en saberes tradicionales y prácticas de cultivo en equilibrio con la tierra, no utiliza agrotóxicos ni cultivos transgénicos.

Y siguiendo este paradigma de alternativas más sostenibles y ecológicamente responsables aparecieron también los "bioinsumos".

Se trata de plaguicidas derivados de sustancias naturales.

¿Por qué invertir en los bioinsumos?

Porque representan una opción económicamente atractiva y ecológicamente aceptable.

¿Por qué invertir en los bioinsumos?

Son capaces de mejorar la productividad (o rendimiento), calidad y/o sanidad al aplicarlos sobre cultivos vegetales, sin generar impactos negativos en el agroecosistema.

es una granja agroecológica en Puerto Tirol, Chaco, Argentina y se dedica a la producción y comercialización de bioinsumos, donde ofrecen desde insecticidas hasta fertilizantes naturales.
