About Koppert Canada

Koppert ensures sustainable cultivation for food crops and ornamental plants. Together with growers and in partnership with nature, we work to make agricultural and horticultural products healthy, safe, productive and resilient. We achieve this by using natural enemies to combat pest infestations, bumblebees for natural pollination, and natural products that support and strengthen the crops both above and underground. Restoring and protecting vital ecosystems in a natural way is the basis for healthy crops and a balanced environment.
