Artefeed by Koppert: Alternative Supplementary Food for Sustaining Macrolophus pygmaeus Populations

01 July 2025, New Delhi: Artefeed, developed by Koppert, is a high-quality supplementary food designed specifically to support and maintain populations of the beneficial insect Macrolophus pygmaeus. Composed of dead brine shrimp cysts (Artemia spp.), Artefeed serves as an effective alternative food source in protected cropping systems.

This nutritional solution ensures the survival and stability of Macrolophus populations, especially during periods when natural prey is scarce. By supporting predator presence, Artefeed plays a vital role in integrated pest management (IPM) strategies, allowing for continuous biological control of soft-bodied insect pests such as whiteflies.

Koppert’s Artefeed helps growers achieve balanced pest control while reducing dependence on chemical inputs, making it a valuable tool in sustainable greenhouse farming.
