FRESAcontrol to control aphids in strawberry crops
Parasitic wasp mix
FRESAcontrol provides excellent control of aphid populations. FRESAcontrol contains a mix of parasitic wasps. The mix contains of: Aphidius colemani, Aphidius ervi, Aphidius matricariae, Aphelinus abdominalis, Ephedrus cerasicola en Praon volucre. The mix is specifically aimed at controlling aphids in strawberry crops.
The adult parasitic wasps will hatch and parasitize aphids by inserting an egg. The parasitic wasps find aphids in the crop even before the lice can be seen, so these parasitic wasps are very suitable for preventive use. Note that the parasitic wasps leave empty mummies in the crop. This can be at the expense of decorative value. It is recommended to regularly repeat treatment with parasitic wasps in the greenhouse.
In strawberry cultivation, the number of legal active substances decreases and the MRLs are increasingly sharpened. In addition, resistance occurs which has made chemical control difficult. FRESAcontrol offers an alternative to chemical control. The balanced mix ensures that all the aphids can be controlled.
Product characteristics

In addition to the parasitic wasps, there is an introduction-system available in which the tubes can be placed fast and easy. The introduction-system provides protection of the mummies against ants (which cannot cross the nylon wire), direct sunlight and water drops (condensation, sprinklers).
