hymenopterous parasitic wasp.<br />

fluctuating temperatures and is likely to last all season<br />

long. Available in innovative blister packs for improved<br />

emergence and establishment.<br />

Species Controlled: Greenhouse whitefly, Sweet potato<br />

whitefly.<br />

When To Use: Prefers warm temperatures. Optimum<br />

temperature range is 25-29°C / 77-84°F.Eretline should be<br />

used wherever Bemisia is present. Since it can also be<br />

Diglyphus Isaea<br />

Type: Parasitic wasp.<br />

How it works: The wasp lays its eggs next to the<br />

leafminer larvae, damage ceases immediately as the<br />

larvae are paralysed. The wasp parasite larvae then feed<br />

on the leafminer larvae. Adult females kill and feed<br />

directly on small leafminer host larvae that are too<br />

small to support a developing parasite larva.<br />

Species controlled: Liriomyza (Tomato Leafminer) and<br />

Phytomyza (Chrysanthemum Leafminer).<br />

When to use: Ideal for use from mid-February in heated<br />

crops and April in unheated crops. Establishment will<br />

only occur if the wasp is released when sufficient<br />

numbers of reasonable sized larvae are present within<br />

the crop.<br />

Rates of use: 1 wasp per 1 m2 every week for 3 to 4<br />

weeks.
