Specifications

Active Ingredients 15,000 Encarsia and Eretmocerus pupae on 250 cards Each cardboard strip contains 5 cards each, wrapped in plastic, in a cardboard box, each card holds 60 parasitized whitefly pupae, 30 E. formosa and 30 E. eremicus.
Tech Comments Enermix 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). On heated, edible and ornamental crops (+16°C) Eretmocerus can be used throughout the year. On other crops use late spring to late autumn; ideal for poinsettia crops.
Control Mode of action: Adult female parasitic wasps parasitize second to fourth stage larvae of the whitefly. Host feeding also takes place. Visual effect: Trialeurodes vaporariorum pupae parasitized by Encarsia formosa turn black, Bemisia tabaci pupae become brownish. Whitefly pupae parasitized by Eretmocerus eremicus turn yellow, the adult parasitoid wasp can be seen clearly within the parasitized whitefly pupae shortly before it emerges. Environmental conditions: Encarsia formosa 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. For optimal performance of Eretmocerus eremicus the 24 hour average greenhouse temperature needs to be at least 20°C/68°F. Eretmocerus eremicus is still active at temperatures above 30°C/86°F.
