    World Agrochemical Network Chinese website reported: Koppert Biological Systems is developing a biological method against rice green stink bug (Nezara viridula)
    .
    The company is stepping up its efforts to market the product in 2022
    .
     
    In the past decade, rice green bugs have ravaged unheated pepper, eggplant and cucumber greenhouses in southern Europe
    .
    This pest is also endemic in heated high-tech greenhouses in Northwest and Central Europe
    .
    The disappearance of chemical products and climate change work together to increase the level of pests in greenhouses
    .
    Fighting against rice green stink bugs is a major challenge that can only be effectively dealt with through the use of chemical products
    .
    But these chemical products may damage the beneficial flora that can prevent and control pests such as thrips, red spiders, aphids and whiteflies
    .
    Of course, it is also possible to manually remove rice green stink bugs, but this is only applicable when the pest level is low
    .
     
    Koppert discovered the problem of rice green stink bugs early on
    .
    In 2018, Koppert discovered a natural enemy that is the most effective against the pest in a study.
    It was identified as a European parasitic wasp, which can parasitize on the eggs of rice green stink bugs
    .
    The first field test showed very satisfactory results, and the test also proved that it can effectively fight against rice green stink bugs
    .
    The company expects to conduct large-scale field trials in multiple countries this year to further verify these results
    .
