Cryptobug-L (Cryptolaemus montrouzieri)

Target - For the control of citrus and long-tailed mealybug - All stages of many mealybug species.

Mode of Action - Larvae and adults consume the mealybug completely.

Pack Size - 1000 larvae in 500ml bottle

Dosage - The dosage of Cryptobug-L depends on climate, crop and mealybug density and should always be adjusted to the particular situation. Start introduction preventively or as soon as the first mealybugs are detected in the crop. Introduction rates typically range from 5-40 per m²/release. Releases should be repeated at least 3 times at intervals of 1-2 weeks, or until the pest is controlled.

Environmental Conditions - The minimum temperature for use of Cryptobug is 16°C. However, as Cryptolaemus montrouzieri favours high temperatures, Cryptobug is most effective at temperatures between 25°C and 28°C.
