VERDAcontrol to control aphids in vegetable cultivations.
Parasitic wasps mix
VERDAcontrol provides excellent control of aphids. Verdacontrol contains a mix of parasitic wasps: Aphidius colemani, Aphidius ervi, Aphidius matricariae, Aphelinus abdominalis, Ephedrus cerasicola and Praon volucre. The parasitic wasp mix is specifically aimed on vegetable crops.
The adult parasitic wasps will hatch and parasitize aphids by inserting an egg. The parasitic wasps finds 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 vegetable crops, the number of legal active substances decreases and MRLs are increasingly sharpened. In addition, resistance occurs which makes chemical control difficult. With VERDAcontrol, there is an alternative to solve the resistance problem. The balanced mix ensures that all the aphids can be controlled.
Product characteristics
Packaging
VERDAcontrol is provided in tubes containing an integrated food source. The integrated food source ensures a longer life span of parasitic wasps. The tubes are ready and easy to use and help to save labor.
The VERDAcontrol tube contains 240 mummies, with an expiry date on the packaging.
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).
User instructions
Preferably use the introduction system, in order to protects the tubes.
