Cut flowers

The range of plants used for cut flower production is too large to allow treatment of each type individually on this web site.

Individual species or varieties may only suffer from one or two of the pests listed below, whilst others will suffer from a wider pest range. There may also be pests, specific to some cut flowers, which are not listed below. Sensitivity to pests is also high because of the stringent aesthetic criteria applied by flower markets and customers.

Note that some beneficial mites or insects may require licences or permits for use in some countries, and that some of the species listed below may not therefore be available.

¹  Hypoaspis miles will contribute to thrips control when used as part of a programme with other thrips control agents. It will not give adequate levels of control of this pest when used alone.
