Product details
Chrysopa-E 100,000 contains 100,000 eggs of Chrysoperla carnea, a beneficial lacewing whose larvae are voracious predators of a wide range of soft-bodied pest species.
Once hatched, the lacewing larvae prey on aphids, mealybugs, thrips, whitefly, leafhopper nymphs, moth eggs and early-stage caterpillars, as well as other suitable soft-bodied pests. Their broad prey range makes Chrysoperla carnea a versatile biological control where several pest species may be present.
The larvae attack their prey and suck out the body fluids, leaving behind shrivelled skins that can be difficult to find when monitoring the crop.
Chrysoperla carnea larvae are primarily active at night and tend to hide during the day.
Each pack contains 100,000 Chrysoperla carnea eggs, providing a large-format option for introducing this beneficial predator into biological pest management programmes.

| Tech Comments | Most crops can be infested with aphids. Damage is caused in three ways: sucking plant sap when feeding, excretion of honeydew leading to sooty mould and some species can transmit plant viruses leading to distortion and disfigured plant growth. Biological control with parasites, predators and fungal pathogens are available depending on crop and environmental conditions. There are a large number of aphid species and identification can be important when parasitic wasps are to be used. Depending on the species there can be alternate plant hosts. Winged forms develop under conditions of high density to migrate to alternate hosts. Resistance to some insecticides is a serious issue with some species. |
| Control | Chrysoperla carnea is effective in a wide temperature range including low temperatures (average > 12°C/54°F). It is most effective at 20-28°C (68-82°F). |
