How to use

Introduce Miglyphus into the crop where leaf miner activity has been identified or according to the recommended biological control programme.

Release the adult Diglyphus isaea throughout the treatment area, allowing the parasitoids to search the crop for leaf miner larvae.

Monitor leaf miner activity regularly and make further introductions where required according to pest pressure and the recommended programme.

Follow the product-specific guidance for application rate, release frequency and crop conditions.

Specifications

Active Ingredients Pack size: 500 Diglyphus isaea adults. Presentation: 100 ml bottle. Carrier: None.
Control Mode of action: Adult female parasitic wasps of Diglyphus isaea kill second and third instar leaf miner larvae in the mine and lay their eggs next to them. The eggs develop into parasitic wasps inside the mine (but outside the leaf miner), using the dead larvae as food. Adult females also kill young leaf miner larvae by using them as a food source. This is known as host feeding. Visual effect: The presence of Diglyphus isaea in the crop is signalled by short mines that contain dead leaf miner larvae. Older larvae and pupae are visible through the leaf. Environmental conditions: Diglyphus isaea is most effective at temperatures between 15°C and 25°C (59 and 77°F).
