Crickets

Biological control of crickets

Crickets can cause serious damage in greenhouse and field crops by feeding on young plants, roots, and fruits. Their chewing creates wounds that slow plant growth and increase the risk of secondary infections. Effective cricket control is essential to protect crops and ensure uniform production. Biological control of crickets uses natural enemies that target the pest in the soil:

• Beneficial nematodes

These microscopic organisms actively seek out and infect cricket larvae and nymphs, reducing populations quickly and effectively. With Koppert’s biological solutions for crickets, professional growers can protect crops naturally, maintain healthy root systems and support sustainable production.
