| How can you increase biodiversity at a nursery so that it contributes to pest management? This question is central to the BeeDeals project “Growing with Nature.” As part of this project, extensive surveys are being conducted at nine nurseries in the region. These surveys examine insect populations and the role of natural enemies in pest control. We are also participating in this initiative. In 2021, we created a nature-friendly bank and windbreak at our new location. These elements are intended to contribute to a richer ecosystem at the nursery. The results of the research will provide insight into their effectiveness. More information about the project can be found at www.beedeals.nl On our website, we also share videos about our approach to (organic) crop protection. |
