CHRYSOforce™ R is the green lacewing, Chrysoperla rufilabris — a voracious generalist whose larvae eat just about any soft-bodied pest they can catch, and they are always hungry. This format ships as adult lacewings: the adults feed on pollen and nectar and lay eggs near pest hot spots, and it is their hungry larvae that do the hunting. Use it across ornamentals, hemp/cannabis, vegetables, soft fruits, and tree nurseries, in greenhouses, indoor facilities, fields, gardens, and orchards. Note: green lacewing does not control root aphids.
What it targets
The larvae feed on:
Many aphid species
Many mealybug species
Spider mites
Many thrips species
Whiteflies (eggs/juveniles)
Eggs of many pest species
Crops it supports
Ornamentals, hemp/cannabis, vegetables, soft fruits, and tree nurseries — in greenhouses, indoor facilities, fields, gardens, and orchards.
How the green lacewing controls pests
The larvae seek out prey and suck the life out of them, consuming up to 50 aphids a day, and they are capable of attacking large prey. Females can lay 400-plus eggs near pest hot spots. Green lacewing stays active in low light and cooler temperatures, which makes it a flexible predator across many crops.
