People need clean and healthy food and greenhouse-grown vegetables are a very good way of supplying them. This food then has to be protected against a variety of insects that damage either the fruits or the whole plants. Modern growers avoid the use of chemicals and rely on beneficial insects.
Micothon has developed a 5-meter wide solution for him that moves over the containers and extracts the insects with vacuum technology. Even during nighttime, the installation can automatically move up and down the bay. The machine hangs slightly above the container and the continuous strong airstream will catch the insects and catch them in the special filter.
