Biological solutions at Hoogenboom

Thursday 07 December 2023

What do you do if you want to limit the use of chemical pesticides in your crop? Then you look for biological solutions.

Jeroen Hoogenboom proudly talks about the spiders he uses to control thrips in his phloxes. 'Thrips damage the crop by draining plant cells. By using natural enemies, we need to use fewer chemical pesticides.'

Another fine solution, is to sow empty plots with grass. This eliminates the need to spray them with chemicals and keeps the land healthy naturally. Simple but effective!
