How Eretmocerus eremicus and Encarsia formosa Work

✔ Encarsia formosa - Targets the greenhouse whitefly (Trialeurodes vaporariorum) by laying eggs inside whitefly larvae, causing them to darken and die.✔ Eretmocerus eremicus - Attacks both greenhouse and tobacco whiteflies (Bemisia tabaci), parasitizing their pupae while also feeding on young larvae.✔ Dual Action for Maximum Effect - The combination of both species ensures better control across different whitefly species and environmental conditions.
