Microbiology and monitoring pheromones for agriculture

Providing long-term support for your crops in the face of agricultural challenges

Those working in the agricultural sector face multiple, systemic challenges that are over time becoming increasingly deeply embedded:
‍

  • La diversification maîtrisée des activités

  • L’intégration progressive de la chaîne de valeur pour des ingrédients robustes et innovants

  • L'internationalisation progressive.

  • Ensuring crop yields

  • Coping with extreme weather events (drought)

  • Optimising crop nutrition

  • Reducing reliance on synthetic fertilisers

  • Preserving soil quality and fertility

  • Controlling pest pressure without compromising biodiversity


At Proxis Développement, we turn these challenges into practical solutions.
‍
We draw on our long-standing expertise in pheromones combined with expertise in industrial microbiology.

Dual expertise combining agronomy and microbiology

Plant nutrition, soil biology, integrated pest management

Soils, plants and biodiversity form a living ecosystem where every interaction influences the performance of agricultural crops.
‍
With Cybèle Agrocare and Bioprox Pheromones, we design complementary solutions, tailored to different agricultural production models, for:
‍

  • Plant micronutrition

  • Nitrogen fertilisation

  • Soil structure

  • Resilience to climatic hazards

  • Pest monitoring

Living organisms at the service of plant nutrition

The soil is not merely a medium for crops: it is a complex ecosystem where microorganisms and nutrients interact to support soil health, root growth and the robustness of your plants.

Selected by our researchers, our soil bacteria harness these mechanisms to:
‍

  • Stimulate root development

  • Facilitate biological nitrogen fixation

  • Enhance the mechanisms of action of legumes

  • Improve nutrient uptake

  • Boost resistance to water stress

  • Activate and support soil microbial life


Our solutions are designed to fit in with your existing practices

"
At Cybèle Agrocare, thanks to our in-depth knowledge of the soil and plant microbiome, we offer effective solutions that can be easily adapted to your crops (seed treatment, fertiliser blends, or soil application methods or via spraying). Our aim is to contribute to the agricultural transition by providing solutions that protect the environment without compromising yields."

Agricultural pheromones: monitoring and tracking pests

Our sex pheromone solutions enable you to accurately monitor pest populations and optimise your interventions. They are used to:
‍

  • Identify the species actually present

  • Anticipate flight peaks

  • Monitor population dynamics throughout the season

  • Assist in timing interventions within an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) strategy

"
A pheromone is a natural signal usually emitted by a virgin female to attract a male for reproduction. Our synthetic sex pheromones are identical molecules containing active ingredients of very high purity (>97%). They serve as an ecological early warning system, forming part of a policy of sustainable and clean agriculture. With our pre-measured capsules, we provide you with the tools to take targeted action and better protect your crops. Integrated pest management becomes a strategic, cost-effective and easy-to-implement solution."
