DACNUcontrol
DESCRIPTION OF THE PRODUCT
- Bottle of 250 adults
Dacnusa sibirica is a small parasitic wasp that controls different species of leafminers. The performance of D. sibirica is better in crops raised in autumn, winter and spring. Its activity decreases with higher temperatures and it is advisable to replace Dacnusa sibirica with Diglyphus isaea (DIGLYcontrol).
When the female of Dacnusa sibirica finds a leafminer hot spot it lays an egg from which it will emerge a larva that feeds on leafminer larvae. From the parasitized pupa will emerge a new parasitic wasp.
