Box
Enermix is sold as cards (wrapped in plastic) on cardboard strips in a box containing parasitized whitefly pupae that hatch parasitic wasps.
When to use Enermix?
Use Enermix for the biological control of greenhouse whitefly (Trialeurodes vaporariorum) and tobacco whitefly (Bemisia tabaci) during the second to fourth larval stage. Use Enermix as a preventive method and when the first signs of the pest appear.
How does Enermix work?
Female adult parasitic wasps parasitize second to fourth stage larvae of the whitefly. Host feeding also takes place.

- Suspend the cards among the crop, if possible approximately 75 cm below the top of the plant and not in direct sunlight
