What is ProteCitrus

ProteCitrus - Citrus Protection Products replaced the former PIC (Integrated Citrus Production) List. With the redesign, the new model is no longer just a list of recommendations of pesticides, and has raised its status to become an industry voluntary citrus protection program, broadening the requirements for product registration and anticipating trends and regulations in various international markets. ProteCitrus connects the citrus grower's activities with the demands of governments and customers, in view of the global demand for food production with the lowest possible environmental impact, further enhancing the sustainable techniques practiced in the Brazilian citrus industry.
