Green Lacewing Mass Production
The objective of mass production of the green lacewing (Chrysoperla carnea) is to control heavy infestations of Pyrilla (Pyrilla perpusilla), which was previously difficult to manage through conventional chemical sprays.
Chrysoperla carnea larvae are voracious predators that feed actively on the eggs, nymphs, and adults of Pyrilla, restoring ecological balance in sugarcane fields.
