    Sold by Natural SystemsMore information

    Chrysoline - Tube contains 1,000 Individuals of the predatory insect Chrysoperla carnea, for the biological fight against aphids and other harmful species of soft-bodied insects such as whiteflies, mealybugs, thrips, mites and Lepidoptera eggs.

    The Chrysoperla Carnea is a generalist predatory insect of the neuroptera order of great value for crops ecological, since it exerts a natural control on numerous species of plagues. This reduces the uncertainty of species identification.

    Only the larvae are predators, which detect their prey by direct contact. They move through the crop randomly moving its head from left to right until its antennae detect prey, then they attack by ramming, impaling their victim.

    Chrysoline is supplied in a tube with larvae mixed with a carrier material. It is recommended for localized releases in foci due to their high shock effect; a larva can consume up to 200 aphids large (like M. euphorbiae) and up to 400 small aphids (like A.gossypii or M. persicae). Ideal for treatments spotlights due to its shock effect.

    How to use:

    • Upon receipt, place containers in a cool, shady place until ready to use.
    • Do not expose to direct sunlight.
    • When you are ready to apply, open the container in the greenhouse. Release larvae directly onto aphid colonies identified.
    • Ensure that the transport material remains on the plant at the time of application. If it falls to soil immediately, many of the larvae will be lost.
    • Target crops: All crops prone to aphid attacks
    • Target pest: Mainly aphids. It also contributes to the control of other arthropod insects such as mealybugs, whitefly and thrips.
