Bioline Agrosciences

Eretline biological control agent contains the hymenopterous parasitic wasp, Eretmocerus eremicus. It attacks whitefly by host feeding on younger larval stages and parasitizing the second larval stage of greenhouse whitefly, Trialeurodes vaporariorum, and silverleaf/sweetpotato whitefly, Bemisia tabaci.

Key Features--
*Performs well in warmer climates and in fluctuating temperatures and is likely to last all season long
*Available in innovative blister packs for improved emergence and establishment
*Excellent host-finding behavior

Target Pests--
*Greenhouse whitefly
*Sweet potato whitefly

Available delivery systems
*Blister packs - containing 5,000 or 10,000 pupae in total, as 20 blisters each blister producing a minimum of 250 or 500 adult. Blister packs make product clearly visible and allow the grower to judge quality and emergence more easily
*Or Hanging cards - Parasitized scales attached to cards
--Each card will produce a minimum of 50 female wasps
--Parasite pupae are protected in the card recess
--Cards available in quantities of 60, 200, or 250 per case

Encarline biological control agent contains the hymenopterous parasitic wasp, Encarsia formosa. It attacks by host feeding on younger whitefly larval stages and parasitizing in the third and fourth larval stage of the greenhouse whitefly, Trialeurodes vaporariorum.

Key Features--
*High emergence rates
*Easy to detect in crop because the parasitised scales are black
*Parasite pupae are fixed within a "well" on a card with the thickness of the card protecting them from physical damage in transit. This ensures top quality pupae from which the maximum number of parasites will emerge into the crop.
Target Pests--
*Greenhouse whitefly

Available delivery systems
Supplied as parasitized scales attached to cards, which are hung in the crop where they hatch out and attack whiteflies.
*Each card will produce a minimum of 60 female wasps
*Parasite pupae are protected in card recess
*Cards available in quantities of 100 or 250 per case
