• Beetles

  Biological control of beetles Beetles can cause serious damage in many greenhouse and field crops by feeding on leaves, roots, or fruits, leading to reduced growth and yield loss. Effective beetle control is essential to maintain healthy and productive crops. Biological control of beetles combines preventive monitoring with targeted interventions using natural solutions: Beneficial nematodes Insect traps Pheromone traps Beneficial nematodes actively

• Bugs

  Biological control of bugs Bugs can cause extensive damage to greenhouse and field crops by feeding on plant tissues and fruits, leading to deformation, discoloration, and yield loss. Effective bug control is key to maintaining healthy, high-quality crops. Biological control of bugs combines targeted monitoring and natural enemies that reduce pest pressure and prevent outbreaks: Beneficial nematodes Parasitic wasps Pheromone traps Sticky traps These

• Caterpillars

  Biological control of caterpillars Caterpillars are highly destructive pests that feed on leaves, stems and fruits, causing serious damage to greenhouse and field crops. Their feeding reduces photosynthesis, weakens plants and directly affects yield and quality. Effective caterpillar control is therefore essential for maintaining healthy and productive crops. Biological control of caterpillars combines monitoring and control strategies that target

• Flies

  Biological control of flies Flies are a common pest problem in greenhouse and field crops, where they disturb plant growth, spread diseases and affect crop hygiene. Their larvae can damage roots and growing media, while adults can cause contamination. Effective fly control is essential to maintain healthy and high-quality crops. Biological control of flies combines targeted monitoring and natural enemies that reduce both larval and adult populations

• Mealybugs and scales

  Biological control of mealybugs and scales Mealybugs and scale insects are persistent pests that feed on plant sap, weakening crops and producing honeydew that leads to sooty mould. Infestations reduce plant vigor, fruit quality and overall yield. Effective control of mealybugs and scales is essential to maintain healthy and marketable crops. Biological control of mealybugs and scales relies on natural enemies and monitoring tools that target different

• Spider mites and other mites

  Biological control of spider mites and other mites Spider mites and other mite species can rapidly infest greenhouse and field crops, feeding on plant cells and causing leaf discoloration, reduced photosynthesis and lower yields. Their fast reproduction makes early detection and continuous control essential for maintaining healthy, productive crops. Biological control of spider mites and other mites uses a range of natural enemies that target

• Thrips

  Biological control of thrips Thrips are among the most challenging pests in greenhouse and field crops. Their feeding and virus transmission cause leaf deformation, silvering and fruit damage, leading to reduced yield and marketability. Because they reproduce quickly and hide deep within flowers and leaves, effective thrips control requires an integrated biological approach. Biological control of thrips combines several complementary solutions that

• Aphids

  Biological control of aphids Aphids are among the most harmful pests in greenhouse and field crops, causing plant stress, virus transmission and yield loss. Effective aphid control is essential for maintaining healthy, productive crops. Biological control of aphids uses a combination of natural enemies that attack aphids in different ways: Parasitic wasps Predatory gall midges Ladybirds Lacewings These beneficial insects target aphid populations and

• Leaf miners

  Biological control of leaf miners Leaf miners are damaging pests that tunnel through leaves, reducing photosynthesis and weakening plant growth. Their feeding patterns cause visible leaf damage, lower crop quality and can open the way for secondary infections. Effective leaf miner control is essential to protect plant vitality and maintain marketable yields. Biological control of leaf miners combines effective natural enemies and monitoring tools to
