| Whitefly Parasites |
(Encarsia formosa)
These parasites lay their eggs inside developing Whitefly pupae, so a Whitefly Parasite hatches out instead of a Whitefly. You'll need a magnifier to see them, but they spell death for Greenhouse Whiteflies, and they provide some limited control of Sweet Potato Whitefly as well. Arrive ready to hatch, glued to small, perforated cards which you hang among plant foliage. Parasites work best when temps average at least 68 F.
The most effective release strategy is to release four sets of parasites, two weeks apart. They arrive as eggs, ready to hatch. We suggest
1,000-3,000 whitefly parasites per 1,000 Sq Ft.
Applying Parasites:
Your Whitefly Parasites arrive packaged, ready to hatch, glued to small, perforated cards which you hang among plant foliage. Parasites work best when temperatures average at least 68 F. (add daytime & nighttime temperatures and divide by 2). Parasites emerge as adults within 2 weeks and fly off to hunt for more Whitefly pupae to parasitize.
