Encarline Blisters - 20 Blisters - 5000 Individuals

In ENCARLINE Blister - 20 Blisters - 5000 Individuals, the product allows the Encarsia formosa to efficiently manage whitefly pests in greenhouse and tunnel structures. Each blister containing 20 pieces bears a capsule that releases Encarsia formosa, a highly effective parasitoid targeting the parasitic whiteflies’ nymph stages. For a total of 5000 individuals, this format allows growers to estimate and manage pest populations in different crop zones with little effort and no chemicals on the environment.

For prevention purposes or handling initial situations, this product provides the necessary biological control needed. Using the blister format provides E. formosa emergence to capture and maintain the natural enemy domination in the crops.

How Encarsia formosa Controls Whiteflies

Lifecycle Parasitism Mechanism

The adult female Encarsia formosa actively seeks her prey, the whitefly nymphs, ranging from stage 3 to stage 4, and uses them as hosts by laying her egg inside. The parasitic wasp will then emerge from the black mummy after the whitefly is consumed. In this way, the cycle of parasitism continues.

Besides parasitism, adult E. formosa also helps suppress populations by host feeding whereby whiteflies are actively killed for nutritional purposes.

Effective Against These Pests

This product works like magic on

• Trialeurodes vaporariorum (greenhouse whitefly)
• Bemisia tabaci (tobacco whitefly) — in moderate climates
• Other commonly known whitefly species that infest greenhouse vegetables and ornamentals

Application Method and Environmental Recommendations

Deployment Instructions

Place the blisters evenly over areas of high pest activity and in high-risk locations. These pre-loaded units allow the slow and continuous release of Encarsia formosa, guaranteeing good coverage for several days. Blisters can be glued directly to plant stems, stems of plants, trellises, or other plant supporting structures.

Optimal Conditions

Encarsia formosa is most effective when

• Temperature between 68°F to 82°F
• Humidity level consistently above 50%
• Light conditions aid in growth and emergence

Do not apply wide spectrum use insecticides during this time to maximize survival and effectiveness of the parasitoid wasp.
