ABSTRACT Apivector technology represents a sustainable alternative for the preventive management of pests and diseases in crops, knowledge and multitropic relationships developed for miles of years between pollinators, plants and pathogens; It uses an innovative method of control: the inoculation of bees with biocontrollers to be dispersed by insects in the pecking process. This mechanism allows managing populations of pathogens and pests, mainly flowers and fruits. The technology has been implemented in crops such as strawberry, raspberry, pear, apple, sunflower, canola and tomato, among others. In this document, the bases of the technology are shown. Apivector and each component is defined, likewise, the historical development of the technology is presented.
