Chrysoline - 5l Bag - 2500 Individuals

CHRYSOLINE - 5L bag - 2500 Individuals - Chrysoperla carnea is an intricate biological pest control solution crafted to eliminate a wide range of soft bodied insect pests. It contains 2,500 individual of Chrysoperla carnea, or, Green lacewing which is famous for its voracious larval stage that attacks aphids, whiteflies, thrips, mealybugs, and other greenhouse or field crop pests. This product comes in a 5-liter breathable distribution bag, making it perfect for bulk use in ornamental, vegetable and fruit crops. 

Lifecycle and Predatory Behavior of Chrysoperla carnea 

Green lacewing goes through a complete metamorphosis of egg, larva, pupa and adult, but the primary phase responsible for pest control is the larval stage. Often referred to as “aphid lions”, larvae are fierce predators equipped with strong mandibles designed for hunting. 

Chrysoperla carnea larvae have a unique predation that distinguishes them from other pest controllers. For instance, all known predators of pest-consuming insects, like larvae of flies, wasps or lacewings, have a much narrower prey-range than Chrysoperla carnea. These predators tend to be very selective in the prey they consume, but not so with green lacewing larvae. During the lifespan of a single Chrysoperla carnea, 
more than 100 different pests may be consumed. To add to that, each larva can consume over 100 pests per day.

Target Pests and Biological Control Effectiveness

CHRYSOLINE - Cartridge 5L - 2500 Individuals - Broad spectrum efficacy is demonstrated by Chrysoperla carnea. The lacewings larvae do well in humid outdoor fields, greenhouses, and even indoor growing systems. They excel at suppression of: 

• Aphids
• Whiteflies
• Thrips (especially early instars)
• Mealybugs
• Mite eggs
• Scale insect crawlers

This makes the product ideal for valuable crops such as tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, ornamentals, berries, and fruit trees. 

Application Rate and Monitoring

The application process is easy and has scalable options. This release is best prepared in larger areas to be covered easily and in bulk using the 5L bag. First, roll the bag for mixing of contents for proper blending. Directly sprinkle larvae on the leaves of greens, especially on the foliage where the density of pests is high. Apply C onto target areas early in the morning or late in the day to minimize lightand heat exposure. 

Recommended rates of release

For prevention: 5-10 larvae per plant 
For curative: 20-50 per m2 depending on pest saturation.

Make certain that the crop has received a good watering before the release point. Dry conditions lower the mobility of the larvae. Exclude insecticide sprays before this time and during the period of release, especially those which are known to be long-lasting.

Compatibility within IPM Systems

The predator Chrysoperla carnea, commonly known as the green lacewing, can be integrated quickly within any IPM program. In addition, it can also adapt with other biocontrol agents like predatory mites, parasitoid wasps, and even entomopathogenic fungi. Its peaceful coexistence permits growers to improve synergistic pest control ecosystems.

Chrysoperla carnea enriches Integrated Pest Management systems because it possesses abilities to target several pest developmental stages—eggs, nymphs, and even small larvae. This characteristic enhances the control spectrum and mitigates the require of chemical interventions to be reactive. Such characteristics provide versatility, making it a key stone species for sustainable agriculture.

Storage, Handling and Safety

Immediate application is recommended with order verification. In case short storage is needed, keep the bag at a cool and dark location, away from direct light at a temperature between 10-15°C. Do not expose it to direct light or freeze the content. 

It is recommended to use this product immediately after verification. Safe storage includes placing the bag in a shaded and cool room, not exceeding 10-15°C. Do not subject the bag to direct light/ sunlight.

Chrysoperla carnea is safe for all people, animals, and pollinators. There are no re-entry restrictions nor residue issues ensuring its suitability even for crops meant for immediate consumption or exposure.

Final Words  

For cultivators wanting a reliable, all-encompassing, and organic method for managing pests, CHRYSOLINE - 5L bag - 2500 Individuals - Chrysoperla carnea delivers unprecedented outcomes. Its compatibility with other biological agents and merciless larval feeding makes it perfect for controlling complex pest populations throughout multiple crops. With this lacewing solution, you are not only safeguarding the plants but also enhancing the growing conditions through less chemical usage.
