Description

Objective: Protect crops and fish without chemical pesticides or harmful additives that disrupt biological balance.

4.1 Safe Biosecurity Protocols: Preventing pests and pathogens from entering the growing space.
4.2 Organic Pest Control in Aquaponics: Mechanical barriers, biological controls (ladybugs, predatory mites), and non-toxic sprays (neem oil, insecticidal soaps applied safely away from water).
4.3 Plant & Fish Health Diagnostics:
– Common plant deficiencies (iron, potassium, calcium) and organic remediation.
– Identifying fish stress, fungal infections, and parasitic outbreaks.

Practicum: Diagnosing plant health issues from live samples and applying biological pest controls.
