Product details
Mode of action
Adult female parasitic wasps of Trissolcus basalis lay an egg in a host egg. Larvae develop inside the host egg, and after pupation the adult emerges from the host egg by biting a hole in the lid of the stink bug egg.
Visual effect
Parasitised host eggs turn beige-brown after about a week and shiny grey-black after about 10-12 days. Nezara eggs from which Trissolcus has emerged have an opening with a serrated edge. Unparasitised eggs have a nice round edge.

Introduction rates typically range from 1-6 per m²/release. Releases should be repeated at weekly intervals throughout the season or until control is achieved. Consult a Koppert advisor or a recognized distributor of Koppert products for advice on the best strategy for your situation.
