IPM of tomato and paprika in glass houses and plastic tunnels

DIFFERENT PRODUCTION CONDITIONS

• Production time• Temperatures• Humidity• Aeration• Substrate

PREPLANTING ACTIVITIES

• Select variety considering, microclimate, cropping and pest history and surrounding crops

• Take a preplant soil sample for nutrient and salinity analysis and for pest presence

• Soil preparation: plowing, field leveling, soil sterilization, preparation for irrigation

• Monitor seedling production

PLANTING ACTIVITIES

• Before planting inspect young plants for presence of pests (diseases, insects, weeds)

• Apply fertilizers and root shields at planting

• Check surrounding area for pest presence
