Protecting peppers – without chemicals

For peppers 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.

Our devices can be used against these pests and diseases

  • Green peach aphid Myzus persicae

    Green aphids on leaf undersides and shoot tips. They suck sap and transmit many viruses.

  • Glasshouse whitefly Trialeurodes vaporariorum

    Small white flies that take off when the plant is touched. The larvae sit on the undersides of the leaves and excrete sticky honeydew on which sooty mould grows.

  • Two-spotted spider mite Tetranychus urticae

    Fine pale speckles on the upper side of the leaves, which later turn yellow or bronze. Fine webbing on the underside. In warm, dry weather the mites multiply very fast.

  • 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.

Spider mites with eggs, highly magnified. Adults are about 0.5 mm long.
