TRICHOGRAMMA WASP Protect your crops from defoliating caterpillars! Trichogramma are small parasitoid wasps that lay their eggs in moth andbutterfly eggs. They can control over 200 lepidopteran pest species. Life cycle Trichogramma will emerge from the card after 2 to 4 days, depending on the ambient temperature. The females look for butterfly and moth eggs to parasitize. They lay their eggs in the pest eggs. The larva develops in the egg, feeding on the pest embryo. A new trichogramma emerges from the egg 2 weeks later. Tricho-Gard card Application method Trichogramma are shipped at the nymph stage, glued on cards. Application frequency Change the cards every 7 days Duration of treatment will depend on the target pest (see pages 5 and 6). Application time 30 minutes to 1 hour per hectare. Assessment needs?
