How to use Cryptobug-L
Application Cryptobug-L
- Apply material on rock wool slabs for general introduction, or in Diboxes close to or at a hotspot
- Place among infected leaves
- Apply in the evening
Best working conditions Cryptobug-L
The minimum temperature for successful use of Cryptobug is 16°C/60.8°F. However, Cryptolaemus favors high temperatures and relative humidity. Therefore, Cryptobug is at its most effective at temperatures between 25°C/77°F and 28°C/82.4°F. Beetles are more mobile than larvae, thus more useful for general introductions or in high crops. When possible use larvae for hotspot treatments.
