Greenhouses & Net houses
Start clean to remain clean
By using the BioCloud 618 immediately after planting in both greenhouses and net houses, farmers benefit from long term control and prevention of reinfestation by key insect pests including the sucking pest vectors of major vegetable and plant viruses.
These include: Bemisia tabaci - tobacco white fly, most plant aphids including the hard to control Myzus persicae - green peach aphid, thrips species like Thrips tabaci - onion thrips, Frankliniella occidentalis - western flower thrips, Liriomyza trifolii - American serpentine leafminer or celery leafminer and also even chewing pests i.e.: larvae of Spodoptera littoralis - African cotton leafworm or Egyptian cotton leafworm.
In addition, the product also controls fungus gnats that breed in the growing matrix and can become a nuisance pest in high numbers.
BioCloud 618 is recommended especially for closed indoor situations where airflow into and from the greenhouse or net house is relatively restricted by the plastic cover and/or by the insect proof mesh used on the walls for superior results.
