Trap-Eye™ Case study 

Instead of distributing the parasitic wasps evenly throughout the greenhouse, which would  normally mean releases in approximately 100 to 150 rows in this greenhouse, the grower used Trap-Eye to apply a targeted release strategy focused on ~50 rows.

By focusing the beneficial insects on and around the detected whitefly hotspots, the grower was able to release 2 to 4 times higher populations exactly where pressure was highest.

The monitoring and intervention results clearly demonstrate the effectiveness of this approach. Most traps remained green, while only a limited number turned yellow or orange, indicating local whitefly activity. This shows that combining high-density monitoring with targeted biological control helps growers actively suppress whitefly outbreaks before they spread throughout the greenhouse.

This case demonstrates how precision monitoring allows growers to intervene earlier, focus biological control exactly where it is needed, and maintain whitefly pressure at manageable levels across the greenhouse.
