Although organic farming hasn’t been all that successful in Chile, a Los Andes grower is determined to make it profitable. A key component of his strategy is Thermal Pest Control (TPC) technology. Los Andes agronomist Jean Boudeguer started an organic farming concern some three years ago. While he was a seasoned international fruit supplier, he leased a certified organic tract after a trip to the UK showed a thriving market for organic produce.
Getting there hasn’t been easy. He had to study a lot, invest over US$2 million, and learn from several failed crops and botched shipments. As he researched the issues and tried new options, he came across Thermal Pest Control (TPC) technology. He soon decided it was worth a try.
A shot at finally being able to produce pesticide-free grapes led a local grower to bet on Thermal Pest Control (TPC) technology. His results are being watched by the Catholic University and gas company Lipigas.
Five years ago grape grower Arnaldo Bozzolo was thinking of retirement when he first heard of Thermal Pest Control (TPC) technology. But once he found out that this new clean method of controlling pests and disease could help him fulfill an old dream -grow fully organic, pesticide-free grapes- he changed his mind.

A Los Andes grower says that Thermal Pest Control (TPC), which cleanly and effectively controls pest and disease, can help meet demand for healthy products.
As consumers worldwide increasingly demand fewer chemicals in their fruit and produce, Florencio Lazo’s Thermal Pest Control (TPC) technology, which uses heat blasts to control pest and disease in agriculture, seems a major step in that direction.
