Enermix Loose 100,000 – Encarsia/Eretmocerus Pupae is a biological pest control solution designed to help professional growers manage whitefly populations in protected horticultural crops.
Containing a combination of two beneficial parasitic wasps, Encarsia formosa and Eretmocerus eremicus, Enermix provides targeted biological control of greenhouse whitefly (Trialeurodes vaporariorum) and tobacco whitefly (Bemisia tabaci).
Both species work by parasitising developing whitefly larvae, helping to reduce pest populations and prevent further infestations. The combination of two parasitic wasp species offers effective whitefly management across a range of growing conditions, including fluctuating temperatures.
Supplied as 100,000 loose pupae, Enermix is designed for professional horticultural use and can be incorporated into Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programmes. It is particularly suitable for protected vegetable and ornamental crops where whitefly management is essential for maintaining crop health and quality.
Enermix can be introduced preventatively or at the first signs of whitefly activity, helping growers establish biological control before pest populations become widespread.
As part of a wider biological crop protection strategy, Enermix provides a natural approach to whitefly management, supporting sustainable growing practices and reducing reliance on conventional insecticides.
Eretmocerus is released under licence in the UK.

| 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. |
