It is important to reduce the use of pesticides and to control pests as much as possible biologically. Insect netting in the air vents is an effective way to keep harmful insects out of the greenhouse, but what if an insect hitches a ride with new plant material?
Holland Gaas offers, in addition to the most innovative insect netting for air vents, also a solution to test incoming plant material for any insects that may be present. The netting cage is a quick and effective way to detect pests early and protect the remaining crop.
"Our netting cages are made of fine mesh that keeps insects out, but still allows enough air and light to pass through," says Klaas-Jan de Ruiter of Holland Gaas. “When incoming plant material is placed in the netting cage together with a trapping plate, it is quickly visible whether any insects are present on the young plant material. This makes it quick to see if there are any insects on the young plant material. This allows growers to react quickly and minimize infection pressure and the use of crop protection products," says Klaas-Jan.
The netting cage is an easy-to-use tool that, together with insect netting in the air vents, can make a significant contribution to a healthy and sustainable greenhouse. Netting cages are not only used to inspect new plant material, but they are also suitable for other tests and monitoring. Available in different sizes and designs.
