Parasitoid & Predator

We offer a variety of parasitoids that kills the pests without affecting beneficial organisms. Also we offer some predator that destroys the mealy bugs. 1.Egg - Tricho cards Trichogramma spp Trichogramma chilonis and Trichogramma japonicum are recommended for control of sugarcane early shoot, internodes and top borers, rice stem borer and leaf folder, cotton bollworms, tomato fruit borer, groundnut leaf defoliator, etc. Advantages: * Being egg parasitoid, Trichogramma destroys the pest before it emerges as larva from the egg. * By preventing the pest at early larval stage from feeding on the crop they help to avoid the cosmetic damage on the crop. * Eco-friendly and Cost effective Can be used at any stage of the crop period. It is a useful alternative when chemical control is not adoptable, due to crop canopy being not accessible to sprays. Precautions: * Strips of Tricho-cards should be stapled on the inner side of the leaf, to avoid direct exposure of egg surface to rain and sunlight. * Refrain from using chemical pesticides in the field where Trichogramma are released. If such need arises, use selective/ safer (Trichogramma compatible) pesticides, 7-10 days before or 5 days after release of parasitoids. Method of release of Trichogamma Parasitoids: Trichogramma adults are sensitive to rain and high temperature. Ants and spider can also prey upon the parasitized eggs before the adult emergence. For protecting the adults, the Tricho-cards strips (
