"Developing innovative methods for controlling the major pests in greenhouses by producing and introducing bioagents (beneficial insects) for biological control"

The project aims to solve major plant protection problems related to the damage caused by harmful insects (pests) annually to vegetable crops in cultivation plants, using innovative techniques for non-chemical biological control and using natural enemies (bioagents) of pests greenhouse vegetables. Each year, these enemies cause enormous worldwide losses associated with the loss of planted land, yields, and hence economic losses. For this purpose, the necessary biological control agents will be produced and implemented using the appropriate technology. The innovative approaches developed in this project to control major pests of greenhouse crops through the use of beneficial insects have both economic and vital implications for consumer health and the ecological balance of intensive cultivation agriculture facilities. The methods developed in the project will allow the control of pests on greenhouse crops to be carried out without the use of dangerous pesticides, and with the means that any farmer - conventional or organic can apply. This will lead to a cleaner environment and pesticide-free agricultural production.
