Bio-diversity

The project aims to offer professional assistance and scientific expertise for increasing the crop production in green houses through the use of natural pollinators such as the bumblebee Bombix sp. The number of small green houses owned by small groups of farmers has increased quickly in the last 3 years due to favorable climate conditions in Albania. Although not intensively cultivated and as the result without heavy uses of chemicals/pesticides the surface cultivated green house can contribute in environmental pollution mainly pesticides. The project objective is to introduce environmentally friendly methods for increasing the yield of agricultural crops and at the same time reducing the use of pesticides due to the fact that the use of insects as pollinators puts restrictions on the use of chemicals in the green house environment.
