Abstract

Crop protection in greenhouses became strongly chemically oriented in the 1950s. Rapid development of pesticide resistance initiated a search for alternatives. Presently, in greenhouse vegetables of northern Europe, most arthropod problems can be solved without the use of pesticides. This is the story of the 30-year evolution in control practices that has led to the implementation of biological control as the primary pest management practice in greenhouses.
