In the cultivation of the pepper plants, only selective crop protection agents that can be combined with the early introduction of beneficial insects after planting are used, along with the addition of various biostimulants for a resilient plant. The peppers are grown on Greenline Food cultivation mats from Lensli Substrates, a substrate consisting of organic materials. Within the pilot, the focus is not only on deploying larger numbers and more diverse species of beneficial insects than is customary in pepper cultivation, but also on creating an ideal living environment for the development of these natural pest controllers. This includes looking into the use of various banker plants in the greenhouse. Additionally, various products are being tested that should make the plant less susceptible to insect damage. Weekly, the insects are manually counted on sticky traps. The data from this ...
