Encarline Mix - 250 Card - 15000 Individuals

With Encarsia formosa and Eretmocerus eremicus mixed together, an advanced biological control method encapsulating whitefly control can be administered using only a single product. Each set contains 250 release cards with a total of 15,000 individuals consisting of an optimized mix of Encarsia formosa and Eretmocerus eremicus. They strive to provide more control over various whitefly species at multiple developmental stages, particularly in closed crop environments like greenhouses and high tunnels.

With no harmful residue left over, this product can be safely used within the growers’ integrated pest management (IPM) systems. Using complementary resistant parasitoids enables schnecken to achieve greater adaptability and more long-term control.

Control Method Outline of the Dual-Parasitoid System

Operational Modes and Roles of Species

Encarsia formosa: Mummification is a physiological form of encapsulation wherein the host is turned into a “mummy”. It excels on the immature life stages of Trialeurodes vaporariorum (greenhouse whitefly). She converts her eggs into rotten fleshy black mummies nymphs that are later outgrown by new adults.

Eretmocerus eremicus: This organism is known to parasitize both Trialeurodes vaporariorum and Bemisia tabaci (tobacco whitefly). Eggs are placed under whitefly nymphs as food is available and later on, the growing larvae emerge and eat the host from the inside. This parasitoid also partakes in host feeding resulting in enhanced mortality.

In combination, these parasitoids accomplish greater control of the heterogeneous whitefly populations in species and level of resistance.

• Control of Whitefly Species
• Trialeurodes vaporariorum (greenhouse whitefly)
• Bemisia tabaci (tobacco whitefly)
• Other whitefly species frequently found in greenhouse vegetables, ornamentals and soft fruit crops.
• Environmental Standards and Claim Regulations

Reduction Method

The 250 release cards contain whitefly scales which have been parasitized. Cards can be positioned as described in paragraph 3.7.7. The capturing position should be at eye level and crop canopy. The cards should be placed at the beginning of the cropping stage or upon spotting whiteflies in order to suppress the population prior to it building up.

• Preferred Environmental Conditions
• Temperature: 20-30ºC
• Humidity: more than 50%
• Lightning: No direct sunlight, but natural light or growing light should be given.
• Untargeted pest control: Don’t use broad-spectrum insecticide 3 to 5 days before releasing the parasitoids.

These conditions enable whitefly parasitoids to search for hosted tendril sukari shrimp or hosted parasitic behavior to emerge and forage.

Final Words

It is apparent that ENCARLINE MIX - 250 Card - 15000 Individuals - Encarsia formosa + Eretmocerus eremicus takes a new approach to dealing with whiteflies. This product works best with two parasitoid Encarsia formosa and Eretmocerus eremicus where they deal deeper pest targeting and provide better flexibility together. These two deal more consistently multi layered pest suppression working seamlessly in complex cropping environments.

The simplicity in deployment and high effectiveness of sustainable crop protection maximize the advantage to growers and in considering these attributes, the absence of chemical treatments enables effective focus on pest control. The mix equips potent alternative pest control to scale with the operation effortlessly, from vegetables and ornamentals to fruit crops.
