Abstract
The application of biocontrol in Dutch glasshouses has increased tremendously from itsrediscovery in the 1960’s up to now. In the last decade, the number of different natural enemiessold to Dutch growers increased from 7 in 1992 to 26 in 2001 (LTO Nederland, vakgroepGlastuinbouw, 2003). Integrated pest management (IPM) is practised on a large scale in allmain vegetable crops. At the end of the millennium more than 90% of all tomatoes, cucumbersand sweet peppers were produced under IPM in The Netherlands (Van Lenteren, 2000). Alsothe area of glasshouse ornamentals grown under IPM increased. In 1998 biocontrol was appliedin more than 10% of the Dutch ornamental crops (Van Lenteren, 2000). This increase is mainlyaccounted for by gerberas, roses, orchids and potted plants (LTO Nederland, vakgroepGlastuinbouw, 2003). According to Van Lenteren (2000), natural enemies were released on78% of the area down to gerberas.
