Growing food without chemicals is a dream that is slowly becoming a reality for many gardeners. One of the technologies available is the extraction of insects with a vacuum.

It is a proven system to combat flying insects. The technology is used for example on young plants. With the more powerful systems it is also possible to suck insects out of larger plants.

Sustainable and effective crop protection against Sciara

For the removal of Sciara, a Micothon wagon was built with an extractor hood of four hoods and fans that can treat four rows of flowers with a total width of 8 meters. The fully automatic daily treatment makes it easy to combat the insects without the use of pesticides. The technology is successful and offers many possibilities in greenhouse horticulture.

For propagation of young plants it is especially important to start free from harmful insects. Automatic extraction by sucking is a very attractive way to protect these vulnerable plants from flying insects without chemicals.
