How to use

Introduce Minusa into the crop as soon as leafminers are detected or when monitoring indicates a risk of infestation.

Distribute the adult parasitoids carefully throughout the affected growing area, allowing them to disperse naturally through the crop and search for leafminer larvae.

For best results, use as part of a wider IPM programme and monitor leafminer activity regularly. Minusa can also be combined with Diglyphus isaea where appropriate.

Application rate: Follow the recommended release rate for your crop, pest pressure and growing conditions.

Specifications

Active Ingredients Pack size: 500 Dacnusa sibirica adults. Presentation: 100 ml bottle. Carrier: None.
Tech Comments Can be combined with Miglyphus- Diglyphus isaea.
Control Mode of action: The adult female parasitic wasps of Dacnusa sibirica preferably lay their eggs inside first and second instars of the leaf miner larva. The parasitic wasps develop inside the leaf miner pupa. The adult wasp will emerge from the pupa. Visual effect: It is not possible to see on the outside if the leaf miner larvae or pupae are parasitised. Environmental conditions: Minusa is more effective than Miglyphus at lower temperatures (<20°C/68°F). When temperatures rise Minusa can be supported by Miglyphus.
