Answer

Research institutes Sierteelt Test Center PCS and the Institute for Agricultural, Fisheries and Food Research ILVO are monitoring the emergence of caterpillars and butterflies of the boxwood moth at two locations in Flanders. Various control techniques are tested and assessed from practice. The organizations National Guilds and professional association for Flemish floriculture and landscaping AVBS translate this acquired knowledge into practical tips for your garden and warn when it is time to act. You can find all information about the buxus moth and its control on the new website http://www.sosbuxusmot.be/.

You will also find on the website http://handigindetuin.be/ and the website of Phytofar, the Belgian association of the plant protection industry, a lot of information about sensible gardening and sustainable use of pesticides.
