Facilities to cultivate the most headache of small pests, let its natural enemies to solve! A few days ago, the Agricultural Experimental Institute published a successful case of using small black stink bugs to successfully control the harm of thrips in a colored pepper greenhouse. Lin Fengqi, an associate researcher who has studied biological natural enemies for more than 20 years, said, "the time has come!" Nowadays, Wimbledon rooms are common, and they are most suitable for releasing natural enemies to control pests.

The inherent impression of high cost and slow effect of natural enemies is gradually overcome with the maturity of ideas and technology. In recent years, the concept of friendly farming and pesticide reduction has sprung up, and the use of natural enemies has once again become the focus of attention.

The degree of inquiry is high, and the natural enemy set group will announce the opening of the technical transfer in the near future.

Lin Fengqi said that many farmers have come to ask natural enemies where to buy them.At present, research units have developed sets of seven natural enemies, including small black stink bugs, yellow thick beak stink bugs, and black egg wasps, which have been approved and wait for technology transfer after the announcement. I hope that a larger company can undertake it. Each natural enemy can also be authorized to interested companies or production and marketing classes and other peasant groups.

In Europe and the United States, the prevention and control of natural enemies has become a trend. Lin Fengqi has visited a number of natural enemy companies in Europe. Lin Fengqi observes that 20 years ago, these companies were also small companies, producing only two or three kinds of natural enemies, "but now, he can supply all the natural enemies you want," and match them with the surrounding non-toxic prevention and control materials, and the prospect is very promising.

"Biological control is a method that can strike a balance between yield, quality, and safety." coupled with reasonable prices, Lin Fengqi hopes that biological control of natural enemies can develop into a mature industry in Taiwan, giving farmers one more high-quality choice. it also makes agriculture more in line with the spirit of sustainability.
