Chrysopida

Green fly / aphid (496)

Mealybug (496)

Green aphids on the tips of the rose shoots: Coccinella 6 was sprayed and after about 3 days there were no more aphids to be seen. Unfortunately they reappeared and a further spraying with Coccinella did not help. Then I sprayed with Chrysoperla carnea and the aphids were gone – so far (approx 3 months), they haven't returned on the roses I treated. (496)

A severe infestation of mealybug on lilac treated with Chrysoperla 6 D (5 ml in 5 litres of water). The remedy was splattered onto the lilac plant with a cooking spoon from the bucket containing the solution. After a few days, the mealybugs were blasted off with a strong jet of water – this was far easier after the treatment compared to before. In comparison to before, there was virtually no reinfestation – it was only necessary to repeat the treatment after 3-4 months and the results were the same. (496)
