Oak Processionary Moth Mixture (OPM) forms part of a broader ecological approach to managing oak processionary moth. By creating a flower-rich environment, the mixture provides food and habitat for a range of insects and other natural enemies, supporting biodiversity and a natural balance within the environment. Flowering starts as early as January and continues through to July.
Oak Processionary Moth Mixture (OPM) is well suited to locations where a flower-rich planting scheme is desired and where biodiversity is an important consideration. Good soil preparation and appropriate management contribute to healthy development and a rich display of flowers.
Oak Processionary Moth Mixture (OPM) is suitable for a wide range of applications in public green spaces. The long flowering period from January through to July provides a long-lasting flower-rich display. At the same time, the presence of flowering plants provides food for insects and contributes to a diverse habitat in which natural enemies can develop.
The mixture therefore forms a valuable building block within a broader ecological approach to managing oak processionary moth. It does not replace direct control measures, but contributes to a diverse and flower-rich environment.
