BB - Eretmix 5,000 (50/Card)
#17081
Quantity Per Case: N/A
Quantity Per Pallet: N/A
Eretmix-System: 50% Eretmocerus eremicus and 50% Encarsia formosa
Poinsettia-Mix-System: 70% Eretmocerus eremicus and 30% Encarsia formosa
The parasitic wasps Eretmocerus eremicus and Encarsia formosa effectively control whiteflies through parasitism and host feeding. Whitefly larvae parasitized by Encarsia turn black, while those targeted by Eretmocerus become beige or light brown. Female wasps lay their eggs either beneath (E. eremicus) or within (E. formosa) the larvae, and new adults emerge through a distinct round exit hole on the back of the pupa. Each female wasp can parasitize an average of 150-250 whitefly larvae, and both species contribute to control through host feeding. While Encarsia has a higher female ratio (98%), Eretmocerus exhibits a balanced 50:50 sex ratio.
Key Features:
- Effective whitefly parasitoids, targeting both Bemisia tabaci (tobacco whitefly) and Trialeurodes vaporariorum (greenhouse whitefly)
- Encarsia formosa thrives at low temperatures, preferring 3rd and 4th instar greenhouse whiteflies
- Eretmocerus eremicus excels in high temperatures, favoring 2nd and 4th instar tobacco whiteflies
- Visible color change in parasitized larvae aids monitoring
