How do you detect flying insect pests in a greenhouse? Flying insect pests can be detected by monitoring moth activity and tracking flight patterns. By analyzing when and how many insects are present, growers can identify pest pressure early and anticipate larval outbreaks. When should growers act against larvae? Growers should act when larvae are newly hatched. This moment can be predicted by monitoring adult insect activity and identifying flight peaks, which indicate when eggs are likely to hatch. How does PATS improve pest control timing? PATS systems continuously monitor flying insect activity in the greenhouse. This allows growers to detect pest pressure early, predict when larvae will appear, and act at the optimal moment. How does PATS support biological pest control? By predicting when larvae will appear, PATS helps growers apply biological treatments at the right moment. This improves effectiveness and supports the transition from reactive spraying to fully biological pest control strategies. What is the benefit of monitoring moth activity? Monitoring moth activity provides early insight into future pest problems. Adult insects are a leading indicator of larval outbreaks, allowing growers to act before visible damage occurs and avoid unnecessary interventions.
