Release rates
|
Rates will vary depending on the crop, the pest to be controlled and its density. The following is a guide only:
Protected crops: apply to pest infested areas initially at higher rates of 1,000 eggs per 200 m2. Followed by regular releases of 1,000 eggs per 1,000 m2.
Field crops: use inoculatively by applying 1,000 - 4,000 eggs per hectare. Preferably make two applications 10-14 days apart.
