Protecting lettuce – without chemicals
For lettuce we recommend PATRIK UVH with mist: UVH light and a very fine mist against fungal diseases and spider mites – without chemicals and with no residues.

PATRIK UVH with mist
In vegetable growing, pests sit on top of and underneath the leaves. Unlike in fruit and berry growing, a spray mist of specially developed water can be added to the UVH. On the leaves its droplets behave like crystals: combined with the light, they multiply the light beam, so we can also reach places the UVH alone cannot get to.
Infected and healthy plant
Our devices can be used against these pests and diseases
Currant-lettuce aphid Nasonovia ribisnigri
Greenish aphids in the heart of the lettuce, where they are hard to reach. Even a few insects make the head unsaleable.
Green peach aphid Myzus persicae
Green aphids on leaf undersides and shoot tips. They suck sap and transmit many viruses.
Thrips Frankliniella occidentalis
Silvery patches with tiny black droppings on the leaves, misshapen flowers and fruit. Thrips are only 1–2 mm long and transmit viruses.
Grey mould Botrytis cinerea
Grey, dusty fungal growth on flowers and fruit. Infected fruit turns soft and rots, often before harvest. Wet weather and dense foliage strongly favour it.
