Biobeds
Biobeds are systems designed to degrade pesticides and other phytosanitary products that remain as residues after cleaning agricultural application equipment. These beds are composed of a mixture of straw, soil and compost, which encourages the growth of microorganisms capable of decomposing contaminants before they reach the soil or water. Pollution prevention: By degrading pesticides, biobeds prevent these chemicals from reaching surface and groundwater sources.
