Our aim is to minimise reliance on pesticides for crop protection. This is achieved by assessing crop risk, taking into account factors including variety, soil type, field history, rainfall and so on.
Only when the assessment indicates a need for treatment is a suitable pesticide applied, following the recommendations of our BASIS-trained agronomist, and in line with the guidelines laid down by GAP, Assured Produce, and Tesco “Nature’s Choice”.
In addition, our produce is subjected to a continuous programme of residue and microbiological testing by approved UKAS laboratories.
