Product details
Miglyphus 500 is a biological pest control containing 500 adult Diglyphus isaea, a parasitoid wasp used for targeted control of leaf miner larvae.
Diglyphus isaea targets leaf miner larvae developing within plant leaves. The female parasitoid attacks the larvae and lays eggs close to the host, stopping further feeding and helping prevent additional leaf damage. The developing Diglyphus larvae then feed on the leaf miner larvae.
Miglyphus is suitable for use in protected crops including vegetables, ornamentals and herbs, and can be incorporated into an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programme for targeted leaf miner control.

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). |
