TRICHOcontrol – Cards

TRICHOcontrol – Cards is a biological control solution designed for the release of Trichogramma achaeae, a beneficial parasitoid wasp that targets lepidopteran eggs such as Tuta absoluta and Chrysodeixis chalcites. The card format provides a simple and effective way to distribute parasitoids throughout the crop.

Key Benefits

✅ Convenient card-based release system containing beneficial insect pupae

✅ Easy to hang and position throughout the crop canopy

✅ Provides controlled emergence of parasitoids directly within the crop

✅ Supports uniform distribution when cards are strategically placed

✅ Proven solution for preventative and curative biological control programs

✅ Compatible with integrated pest management (IPM) strategies

✅ Suitable for protected and outdoor cropping systems

✅ Effective against key lepidopteran pests including Tuta absoluta

Why Distribution Matters

Trichogramma achaeae has limited dispersal capabilities, moving primarily by walking or short hops. For optimal performance, cards should be distributed evenly throughout the crop, ensuring parasitoids emerge close to target pest populations and provide consistent coverage.

Reliable Biological Control Performance

TRICHOcontrol – Cards delivers a steady release of beneficial parasitoids that actively seek out and parasitize pest eggs before they hatch. Regular introductions during pest flight periods help maintain effective biological control and reduce pest pressure throughout the crop cycle.

Sustainable & Efficient

By enabling targeted releases of beneficial insects and reducing reliance on conventional insecticides, TRICHOcontrol – Cards supports sustainable crop production while providing growers with a practical and effective biological control solution.
