ABOUT

Atabei Ecosystems was started with one goal: sustainable environment management for the empowerment of the Puerto Rican agricultural sector. We recognize that effective biocontrol measures take much more than lab work. Sustained communication with growers provides a richer analysis of field results, and improves the likelihood of proper product application -- improving conditions of the crop and enhancing yields.
