Summary
Flower strips enhance the survival and reproduction of natural enemies and support an active community of natural enemies in greenhouses, contributing to better, more reliable pest control and reducing dependence on expensive external inputs (reared beneficial insects, approved pesticides). This Greenresilient Practice Abstract provides practical recommendations for planting flower strips.
| EPrint Type: | Practice tool |
|---|---|
| What problem does the tool address?: | In greenhouses, pests are very often responsible for yield and quality losses. Control methods implemented by producers, like prophylaxis, biocontrol with mass releases of natural enemies, and approved pesticides, are sometimes insufficient. One reason for this is that natural enemies often require not only pests as prey but also other resources, such as nectar and pollen, to survive and reproduce, which are often in limited supply in greenhouse crops. |
| What solution does the tool offer?: | Establishing flower strips in greenhouses can support introduced and native natural enemies, thereby improving biological pest control in vegetable crops. When suitable plant species are selected and established at the appropriate time and place, this can provide the right resources for a diverse community of natural enemies. |
