This product ensures consistent and reliable whitefly control without the use of harmful chemicals, providing a feasible option for all vegetable and fruit growers.

How A Wasps Formosa Encarsia Handles Whitefly Dects

Lifecycle and Parasitism

Encarsia formosa is a endo-parasitoid which primarily focuses on the nymphial stages of the whitefly, in particular the nymphal instars of Trialeurodes vaporariorum (greenhouse whitefly). The female lays eggs into the body of whitefly nymphs and is dormant until parasitic larva do develop.

Besides parasitism, the adult wasps also kill hosts through feeding and enhancing pest population through host feeding.

Key Whitefly Targets

This product works well against:

• Trialeurodes vaporariorum (greenhouse whitefly)
• Bemisia tabaci (tobacco whitefly) – under special circumstances
• Species of whitefly prevalent in greenhouse and indoor horticulture.
• Application Method and Protips

Dosage Procedure

The cards are pre-filled with parasitized flies white scale and each is fitted with a hanger for placement on plants throughout the crop area. For uniform treatment and consistency in the parasitoid spread and dispersal, distribute the cards uniformly. These should be placed early within the crop cycle or at the first indication of whitefly activity to maximize benefits.

Ideal Conditions for Success

Encarsia formosa is most effective under the following conditions:

• Temperature: 20°C to 24°C Humidity: From 50% and up. Lighting: Indirect natural or artificial grow light for further development
• To maintain the health and activity of the parasitoids, do not use broad spectrum insecticides before, or after the release.
