Specifications
Activity / Control
This very useful parasitoid can attack, kill and develop in several whitefly species, including Bemisia tabaci (cotton whitefly) and Trialeurodes vaporariorum (glasshouse whitefly). The orange/yellow coloured adult wasp lays an egg next to and slightly below a developing whitefly larva (scale). This hatches and feeds on the whitefly larva finally pupating within the empty host skin as a light yellow 'mummy'. A small hole may be found after the adult wasp has emerged from the whitefly pupa.
Application Method
On heated, edible and ornamental crops (+16°C) this wasp can be used throughout the year. On other crops use late spring to late autumn; ideal for poinsettia crops.
Application Rate
2 to 8 wasps per m2 of crop area, introduce low rate weekly or high, curative rate for a minimum of 5 to 6 weeks. Also available as a 50:50 mix with Encarsia to provide improved control of whitefly on many crops.
