Encarcia Parasite (500)
The parasitic wasp Encarsia measures about 0.6 to 0.7 mm and lays eggs into the whitefly
larvae
. (If you have large numbers of adults use
Agralan Whitefly Killer
) After 10 days the whitefly parasitized pupae die and turn black. After another 10 to 14 days, new parasitic wasps leave the black pupae to infect further pupae.
The parasitic wasp is only active at 16°C or above. It survives at lower temperatures but is not active. The parasitic wasp will die if the temperature drops below 6°C.
Parasitic wasps are not harmful to humans, animals or plants and cannot survive without the presence of whitefly.
Application
The parasitic wasps are delivered as pupae (black) that are stuck on cards. Hang the cards 50 cm below the top of the plants, spreading them equally over the area to be treated.If you are using yellow sticky traps, ensure that they are hung above the crop. to minimise the risk of catching Encarsia,
