MAIN ECONOMIC PESTS OF VEGETABLES
Vegetables are exposed to various economic pests that cause serious damage to plants and yields. The most dangerous of them are pests from the order Lepidoptera, Tomato leaf miner (Tuta absoluta), Cotton moth (Helicoverpa armigera), Meadow moth (Loxostege sticticalis), Gray worms / Subterranean moths, Black moth (Agrotis ipsilon), Field moth (common gray worm) (Agrotis segetum), Southern moth (Agrotis dissimilis), Garden moth (Agrotis exclamationis), Broadleaf moth (Agrotis obesa), Spring moth (Euxoa temera), Aboveground moths, Small field moth-Spodoptera exiqua, Gamomark moth (Autographa gamma), Silver-spotted moth (Chrysodeixis chalcites), Cabbage moth (Mamestra brassicae), Garden moth (Lacanobia oleracea).

Biological control using Trichogramma
For highly effective, 100% ecological and biological pest control, we have created special mixes of trichogramma achaeaе and trichogramma cacoecia.
They are tailored to the culture and its vegetation, seasonal temperature norms and the generation of pests.
Application: Trichogramma achieves high efficiency in the fight against pests of the Lepidoptera order, by destroying their larvae and laying its own egg in the pest’s egg. Subsequently, a beneficial insect hatches from the parasitized pest egg – Trichogramma.
Treatment with Trichogramma is carried out during periods of mass egg laying by pests, and it is extremely important that colonization begins with the initial flight of pests.
The introduction of Trichogramma is carried out in two ways:
– for large areas we use biodegradable capsules with Trichogramma eggs, with colonization carried out with drones. You can see more HERE.
– for smaller areas, greenhouses and gardens, colonization is carried out with boxes. They are easy to place, convenient to hang and provide excellent coverage of the plants. You can see more HERE.
Regular monitoring of pests and the correct application of Trichogramma mixes guarantee healthy plants and high yields, while protecting the soil, water, beneficial insects and the environment.
