Jou suksesstrategie vir geïntegreerde pesbeheer in makadamias (Koppert)

Articles | Crop protection | GROEI – Uitgawe 27: 2024 Somer

'n Geïntegreerde pesbeheerstrategie (GPB) vir makadamiaboorde plaas biologiese beheer sentraal deur natuurlike vyande soos parasitiese wespies te gebruik. Produkte soos Tripar-C en Greenshield help om plae soos valskodlingmot en stinkbesies effektief te beheer en verminder afhanklikheid van chemiese middels. Gereelde monitering en tydige vrystellings is noodsaaklik vir sukses. Hierdie benadering beperk oesverliese, ondersteun volhoubaarheid en kan resultate lewer wat vergelykbaar of beter is as tradisionele chemiese programme.
