Instead of attacking the caterpillar after it hatches, it goes after the pest’s eggs — the wasp lays its own egg inside the moth egg, so a new wasp emerges instead of a caterpillar. That makes it a preventive tool best timed to moth flights in field crops, gardens, vineyards, and nurseries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat it targets\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eThe eggs of many moth and butterfly (Lepidoptera) pests, before they hatch into caterpillars\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow Trichogramma controls caterpillars\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eEach female wasp seeks out freshly laid pest eggs and lays an egg inside them. The developing wasp consumes the egg’s contents, so the pest never reaches the destructive caterpillar stage. Because it works only on eggs, timing is critical — releases need to coincide with moth flight so host eggs are available for parasitism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eRelease Rates\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"gm-table-wrap\"\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"gm-release-table\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eClassification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eRelease Information\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGeneral\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1–2 per sq. ft., weekly during moth flight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAcre+\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e50,000 to 100,000 per acre, weekly during moth flight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eTiming is critical to ensure host eggs are available for parasitism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCannabis Alert:\u003c\/strong\u003e Release rate suggestions on these pages are usually not sufficient for cannabis growers.

Distribute the tags as evenly as possible throughout the target area, in the evening or early morning, in locations shaded from the sun and protected from rain. Ant control is important, since ants often attack the developing beneficials — another reason to distribute the tags after emergence has started.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStorage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Do not store the emerged adult wasps for more than 4 hours; hold at a moderately humid 55–65°F.
