Some mechanical methods for plant protection in greenhouses
University of Belgrade, Faculty of Agriculture, Serbia
Abstract
Highly intensive greenhouse production can't be imagined without permanent control and surveillance of production conditions and plant health. Concerning regulations limiting the presence of pesticide and minimizing the impact of overall program on the environment, most producers are accepting integrated pest management (IPM) as a concept of plant protection. Main parts of this concept are prevention, surveillance and control. Covering materials and insect screens, UV lamps and sticky traps are proposed as a method for insect exclusion from greenhouses. The aim of this paper is to show the possibilities and effects of using UV absorbing materials. Criteria for insect screen selection are also presented together with possibilities of UV lamp usage in eliminating insects from greenhouses. The influence of applying IPM concept on energy consumption and chemicals savings in production processes is given.
