What is ANAGYRUS FUSCIVENTRIS?
ANAGYRUS FUSCIVENTRIS is a parasitoid that can be used for the biological control of long-tailed mealybug. The wasp has a very specific taste: it only parasitizes long-tailed mealybug and is ineffective against othe rmealybug species. Females are yellow-gray with remarkable blue eyes. Females can also be recognized by the thickened basal part of their antennae. Males are completely black.
How does ANAGYRUS FUSCIVENTRIS work?
The females prefer to parasitize larger stages of the mealybugs. They lay a single egg per mealybug. After parasitization; the mealybug swells; becomes darker and turns into a so-called mummy. These mummies are a sign that the parasitoids have been active. However; the mummies are rather difficult to locate; since they often drop from the plants. About a week later; a young parasitoid emerges from a hole in the mummy. Adult parasitoids also feed on young mealybugs. This is called host feeding and contributes to the decline in pest population.
How to combine ANAGYRUS FUSCIVENTRIS?
ANAGYRUS FUSCIVENTRIS parasitized larger mealybugs. Therefore; this product is great in combination with CRYPTANUSIA AUREISCUTELLUM; a pararisoid that prefers to parasitize smaller mealybugs. If the mealybugs occur in hot spots; it is recommended to release CRYPTOLAEMUS MONTROUZIERI larvae. While these predatory beetle larvae are not great searchers; they are very effective controllers of mealybug hot spots.
