How to use

Introduce En-Strip into the crop as part of a whitefly biological control programme.

Hang the strips within the crop in suitable locations, allowing the adult Encarsia formosa to emerge and search for whitefly larvae.

For best results, introduce biological controls according to crop conditions, pest pressure and the recommended application programme. Follow the product-specific application rate and guidance for your crop.

Specifications

Active Ingredients 3,000 Encarsia pupae on 50 cards Each cardboard strip contains 5 cards each, wrapped in plastic, in a cardboard box, each card holds 60 parasitized whitefly pupae.
Tech Comments Combined use: En-Strip is best to be used in combination with generalist predatory mites (Amblyseius andersoni, Amblyseius swirskii, Neoseiulus cucumeris or Amblydromalus limonicus) or, in tomato, with predatory mirid bugs (Macrolophus pygmaeus).
Control Mode of action: Adult female parasitic wasps parasitize the third and fourth larval stage of the whitefly. Additionally, host feeding also occurs. Glasshouse whitefly (Trialeurodes vaporariorum) and limited control of cotton whitefly (Bemisia tabaci). Visual effect; Parasitized Trialeurodes vaporariorum pupae turn black, Bemisia tabaci pupae become brownish. Adult wasps leave the pupae via a round hole. Environmental conditions: The parasitic wasp is most effective at temperatures between 20°C and 25°C (68 and 77°F). At a 24 hours average temperature below 17°C/63°F the control of whiteflies may be insufficient.
