LWV22019 Lasers In Greenhouses and Horticulture against Thrips and pests (L.I.G.H.T.) (BO-56-001-084)

The existing package of resources is under pressure and viral diseases cannot be treated curatively at all. To solve this problem, the idea is to use laser technology to preventively keep (flying) insects out of the greenhouse or as a curative measure to scan plants for the presence of insects and to eliminate them in a targeted manner. Integrated into an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) system, this offers the possibility of controlling pests as a carrier of virus with a minimum of chemical measures and without disturbing the greenhouse climate.
