Leafhoppers

Biological control of leafhoppers

Leafhoppers are highly mobile, sap-sucking pests that feed on plant leaves, causing discoloration, stippling and leaf curling. Their feeding reduces photosynthesis, weakens plant growth and can lead to reduced yield and lower crop quality. In addition, leafhoppers can transmit plant pathogens, increasing the risk of disease spread within greenhouse and field crops. Effective leafhopper control is therefore essential to maintain healthy and productive cultivation. By combining monitoring with targeted biological control, crops remain protected while preserving natural balance, ensuring consistent quality and optimal yield.
