Flower strips for enhanced biological pest control in greenhouses

Flower strips boost natural enemy populations in greenhouses to enhance biological pest control.

or

Detail description

Flower strips in greenhouses enhance biological pest control by providing nectar and pollen to support native and released natural enemies, reducing reliance on chemical pesticides and costly reared beneficial insects. When strategically timed and sited, they foster resilient pest control communities. The Greenresilient project provides implementation guidance through a practice abstract, experimental data from French sites, a project website, and a demonstration video, supporting sustainable greenhouse vegetable production.
