In collaboration with Koppert, Anthura has started a tobacco thrips trial at Vertify. The aim is to gain more knowledge regarding an effective, green approach to these thrips. The trial will last for eight weeks.
Cages for the purpose of the tobacco thrips trial.
In the trial, biological control agents, insect parasitic fungi and nematodes and various green agents are examined and 16 tested for their effectiveness. One treatment serves as a chemical reference point. The trial is public and thus accessible to growers and advisers by arrangement. If you would like to know more about the trial or visit the trial location, please contact your account manager or André Lont (crop specialist Anthurium – email: al@anthura.nl).
F.l.t.r: Sergio Harink (Vertify), André Lont (Anthura), Marjolein van der Knaap (Koppert) and Peter Vogel (Anthura).
Sharing this information with growers and advisers not only contributes to more knowledge, but also to a more sustainable and effective approach to tobacco thrips in the future.
