Did you know?
Up to 60% of greenhouse sweet pepper yields are lost to pests like aphids, broad mites, whiteflies, and thrips, plus diseases like powdery mildew (FAO, 2025).
At PSF Vegetables, we’re changing that sustainably. We believe that growing healthy, high-quality vegetables starts with smart, eco-friendly practices that protect both crops and consumers.
Here’s how we tackle the 3 biggest threats to greenhouse pepper farming:
Rapid Pest Spread: Warm, humid greenhouses can become pest havens. We control this by monitoring microclimates closely.
Pesticide Resistance: Overuse of chemicals leads to tougher, more resistant pests. We rely on Integrated Pest Management (IPM) to reduce chemical use while keeping crops clean and safe.
Hidden Infestations: Tiny invaders like spider mites can wreak havoc before we even spot them. That’s why our teams conduct daily scouting to catch problems early.
Ways PSF Fights Back, Sustainably
Microbial Fungicides: We use natural solutions like Bacillus subtilis to suppress soil-borne diseases, reducing losses and protecting our crops in a natural way.
Climate Control: With smart sensors in our greenhouses, we keep humidity below 65% and maintain an ideal temperature range. Dry air, healthy plants.
UV Light Traps: Around-the-clock monitoring with UV traps helps us manage flying pests and reduce unnecessary spraying.
Hygiene & Quarantine: Clean tools, clean floors, and strict seedling quarantine protocols mean fewer chances for pests to settle in.
🔍 Pro Tip from PSF: Never skip daily scouting. It’s your first line of defense against hidden infestations and ensures that the freshest, cleanest vegetables reach our clients.
Growing with care is how we deliver vegetables that our customers can trust, and our environment can sustain.
