Diglyphus isaea – Parasitic Wasp

How It Works: Adult female Diglyphus isaea kill second and third instar leaf miner larvae in the mine and lay their eggs next to them. The eggs develop into parasitic wasps inside the mine (but outside the leaf miner), using the dead larvae as food. Adult females also host feed.

Target Pests: Leaf Miners (Lyriomyza spp.)

Best Use: on leaf miners (larval stages, preferably the second and third stage).

Shelf Life: within 1-2 days of receipt.

Important Information for Use:

  • Immediate Action: This product starts working as soon as it is introduced to the plants. However, visible results will become noticeable after 14-21 days.
  • Visual Effect: The presence of Diglyphus isaea in the crop is signaled by short mines that contain dead leaf miner larvae. Older larvae and pupae are visible through the leaf.

Step 1: Arrival 

Upon arrival, please ensure that you place the product out immediately or within 1-2 days of receipt. Do not store the product in the refrigerator; instead, place the bottles in a cool, dark location at around 14°C until use.

Step 2: Placement 

Release parasitic wasps in the area they are needed either in the morning or evening. Tap bottle gently once open to get them to fly out. Once most are gone from the bottle, place the bottle in an area where the rest can fly out over the next little while
