Academy - Sciara

September 16 2024

We have a long history and more than 120 years of expertise and market knowledge in the field of substrates, research and innovation. In the Lensli Academy we regularly inform you about practical situations that we encounter in the sector, we talk about insights gained in practice, we give you cultivation tips and we share our knowledge about all other interesting substrate-related matters.

This week's topic is “Sciara”.

Sciara is a small black-grey fly of 2 to 3 mm long that is also called the fern fungus gnat. In practice, we often encounter Scaria in places where cultivation takes place on substrate. The larvae of this insect can cause various problems.
