Best working conditions Cryptobug - L
The minimum temperature for successful use of Cryptobug - L is 16°C. However, as Cryptolaemus favors high temperatures and relative humidity, Cryptobug - L is at its most effective at temperatures between 25°C and 28°C. Beetles are more mobile then larvae and therefore more useful for general introductions or in high crops. When possible use larvae for hotspot treatment.
Handling
Biological beneficials have a very short life expectancy and therefore need to be introduced into the crop as soon as possible after receipt. Failure to do so can have a negative impact on their quality. In case you do need to store Cryptobug-L, please follow the instructions below.
