Philips is introducing a new GreenPower LED production module for multilayer applications. The new solution is especially advantageous in vertical city farms as well as for the propagation of young plants.

The energy-efficient LEDs also give off less heat and create a more uniform light distribution, making the module ideal for conditioned environments.

Cryptolomaemus Montrouzieri of Koppert Biological Systems against mealybugs

"Jeroen van Schelt of Koppert Biological Systems: "Cryptobug-L is concerned with larval stages two and three of the predatory beetle Cryptolaemus montrouzieri. These larvae have a voracious appetite and are particularly successful at tackling mealybug hot-spots. For some crops, Cryptobug-L can replace the chemical treatment of mealybugs. The greedy larvae are particularly effective in treating mealybug hot-spots, in ornamentals, and vegetable crops. Furthermore, Cryptobug-L is also extremely effective in outdoor crops in warmer regions; it can be used at temperatures starting from 16 °C. Cryptobug-L will be launched on the market together with the existing Cryptobug (adult beetles)."
