Sucking insects, including thrips, damage fruit, vegetables, and ornamental crops. They also transmit plant viruses. The losses caused by these insects are significant, especially in high-value crops, and can even be total in some cases.
Green Protecta offers innovative biological approaches to pest control in horticulture, agriculture and forestry, including an original method for controlling thrips (Frankliniella occidentalis).
The company is currently developing the patented DissemiBait
system, which involves attracting the harmful insect, infecting it with an insecticidal micro-organism and allowing it to attract and contaminate other individuals from the same population in the field or greenhouse. With this original concept, the targeted insect pest is used as a trap and executioner for its fellow pests.
This is an attractive alternative to spraying current insecticides, and potentially more effective than existing biological solutions. The risks to the health of farmers, consumers and the environment are virtually eliminated. Other insect species, such as thrips or whiteflies, which are virus vectors, could also be targeted by similar methods.
