Wasps are among the most important natural enemies of agricultural pests. Many species act as predators or parasitoids of insects that damage crops, especially lepidopteran larvae (caterpillars) that attack leaves, flowers, and fruit. Thanks to this behavior, wasps contribute to natural biological control, reducing the need for chemical insecticides in agriculture.

What are intercropping? Intercropping  is an agricultural technique that involves planting two or more species on the same land at the same time. Unlike monoculture, this system seeks to make better use of soil, water and sunlight resources through complementarity between plants. It is not something new, it is a traditional practice that today is gaining relevance again within sustainable and regenerative agriculture.   Intercropping Yuca-Maíz.

It is important to bear in mind that there may be licensed, self-cultivated, informal and illegal productions in the same region, without any regulation, control or guarantee on pollen contamination.

Until today, the only way to handle accidental pollination in cannabis was to isolate production in indoor or greenhouse, protecting the crop from possible exposure to pollen from any source. However, this did not guarantee a production of 100% SinSemilla Flower either. As long as the plant has all of its reproductive organs functional, there will always be a risk of forming seeds. With VeroSinse™ technique, sterile plants are produced without stigmas, without the development
