The correct balance

Lans' vine cherry tomatoes and large plum tomatoes are cultivated using maximum biological crop protection. The tomatoes are cultivated with a minimum of chemical corrections.

The major advances in biological crop protection achieved during the past decades now provide for the natural control of many diseases and infestations. Lans endeavours to control all diseases and plagues by biological means. However, this is not always feasible when the pressure imposed by diseases and infestations becomes too great; the biological equilibrium in the glasshouse is then disrupted. The limited use of chemicals then restores the biological equilibrium, and the biological control methods can then take over again.

'Scouts' continually inspect the plants for the presence of disease and/or infestation, thereby ensuring that rapid and effective measures can be taken as required.
