Details
Digline biological control agent contains the ectoparasitic wasp, Diglyphus isaea. It specializes in attacking the larval stages of leafminer pests, such as Liriomyza species L. trifolii and L huidobrensis, as well as the chrysanthemum leafminer, Phytomyza syngenesiae.
Key Features
- Stops leaf damage quickly.
- Adult Diglyphus paralyzes leafminer larvae with its sting and will host feed on them.
- Life cycle is faster than leafminer.
Main uses
- Leafminer
How It Works
- Diglyphus adults paralyze pests and lay eggs next to paralyzed leafminer larvae, which quickly hatch and begin to feed.
- Parasitized leafminer larvae move away from the mine and stop feeding, therefore the mine stops growing immediately.
- The parasitoid pupates inside the leaf mine before hatching and continuing the cycle.
- Development from egg to adult is 26-27 days at 15°C / 59°F and 10-11 days at 25°C / 77°F.
- Activity decreases at low light levels.
