Hydroponics and Indoor Garden Control
Because of their moisture levels, indoor growing spaces are particularly susceptible to springtail infestations. In hydroponic growing systems, the pests will cluster at the edge of grow-tank and in exposed root crowns of plants. Careful periodic inspections and removal can help keep populations down.
While itâs often claimed that springtails do little noticeable damage, they will feed on roots and moist plant matter, causing âleaf stiplingâ (yellowing) and cause other harm to growth and vigor. Still, many growers choose to tolerate them rather than treat them. If you choose to co-exist with them, make sure youâve positively identified them and arenât mistaking them for some pest like spider mites that can cause extensive damage.
Wipe up pest colonies around the rims of trays, near drains and other damp places in your grow space. Large colonies on floors or on stands can be vacuumed with a shop-vac.
If springtails have become such a nuisance they must be sprayed, use an OMRI listed for organic production compound such as azadirachtin, an antifeedant and insect growth regulator (IGR) that controls pests through starvation and growth disruption.
