• Eggplant (Solanum melongena)/ ESP/ Amblyseius swirskii/ whitefly (Trialeurodes vaporariorum), thrips (Frankliniella occidentalis) and two spotted spidermite (Tetranychus urticae)
• Insect pests are controlled by predatory mites to avoid workers exposure to chemical pesticides and to obtain a healthier crop

• Technical result: Well controlled pest populations in greenhouse egg plant crop
  
• Economic result: Residue free egg plant enters market at higher price
• Sustainability (ecological, social and economical) Gains:

• • Reduction in reliance on chemical fertilisers and pesticides
    
  • Minimised freshwater consumption
    
  • Increased biodiversity enabling more resilient greenhouse egg plant cropping systems
    

• • Enables worker and consumer health and wellbeing
    
  • Promotes quality nutritious egg plant production
    

• • Supports farmers’ livelihood and value distribution
    
  • Improvement of financial viability
