Description
Tricho-Gard® – Alliums is a biological solution for protecting vegetable crops and gardens. It contains a small but powerful wasp species, Trichogramma brassicae, which measures less than one millimeter! After mating, female wasps search for lepidopteran eggs, such as those of the leek moth, in which they lay their own eggs. The developing larvae feed on what could have been a future embryo – making this natural alternative to pest control an ideal solution for garlic and leek growers looking to avoid conventional insecticides or Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt)-based biological controls.
