Natupol Fly are Lucilia flies that can be used for pollinating crops with little pollen, such as seed crops. The flies do pollinate the crop but do not eat pollen themselves. Natupol Fly is therefore a good supplement for seed producers to other pollinators such as bees and bumblebees. This product is available in a two-liter cardboard tube with pupae that yield about 30,000 flies.
Natupol Fly contains pupae of Lucilia sericata flies. These flies can be used to pollinate crops with few flowers and/or pollen, because the flies do not need pollen for their nutrition. Natupol Fly is therefore especially suitable for seed producers as a supplement to bumblebees and bees.
How does Natupol Fly work?
Once the pupae have hatched, the flies start looking for nectar to feed on. When visiting the flowers, pollen sticks to their bodies. When the fly visits the next flower, this pollen comes into contact with the pistil and thus ensures pollination. The Lucilia flies themselves do not eat pollen and are therefore ideally suited for crops with little pollen.

Gemiddeld 15 ml poppen per m².
Cruciferae: 20-25 ml poppen per m², 1x per week
Compositae: 15-20 ml poppen per m², 1x per week
Umbelliferae: 20-25 ml poppen per m², 1x per week

Spread the pupae evenly in the crop.
Use about 15 ml pupae per m².
Protect the pupae against direct sunlight and moisture. For example, use coffee cups with a lid or bags. Do not scatter the pupae loose in the crop.
The flies hatch over time, depending on the temperature.
