6° Biostimulants Latam & Redagrícola Biocontrol Congress
Ica Perú
Redagrícola is the leading specialized media outlet for high-tech agriculture in Latin America.
We deliver highly specialized technical information, critical for decision-making in the agricultural industry.
In 2021, we launched the 1st Latam Biostimulants & Redagrícola Biocontrol Congress. Since then, successful editions have been held in Lima (Peru), Cancún (Mexico), Guadalajara (Mexico), and Santiago (Chile), bringing together over 6,000 professionals from across five continents.
In 2026, the congress will take place on September 2 and 3 in Ica, Peru,one of the country's premier agro-export hubs, renowned for producing fruits that supply leading global markets.
Biologicals Latam has established itself as the ideal platform for showcasing expertise and best practices within the global biostimulants and biocontrol sectors, delivering up-to-date, innovative technical and commercial insight through its website and specialized publication.
