Trichogramma brassicae – Natural Moth Control for Crops What It Does:Trichogramma brassicae is ideal for controlling moths (Lepidoptera) on cole crops in cooler climates, especiall y where caterpillar and borer damage is common. How It Works: Trichogramma wasps lay their eggs inside pest moth eggs, preventing development. After 10 days, larvae emerge, and each female can parasitize up to 300 moth eggs. Adult wasps live 7-14 days depending on temperature and moisture. Best Conditions: Temperature: 62-90°F Controlled Release Trichogramma wasps are gradually released over 2 weeks from dispensers or capsules, providing ongoing pest control. Choose the release method based on your preference.
