Beneficial insects
MagiPal®
Attracts beneficial insects, parasitoids, and pollinators to crops, playing a crucial role in preventing pest outbreaks. It effectively helps manage pests such as aphids, leafhoppers, moths, pear suckers, pear leaf midges, thrips, and whiteflies. This product draws in beneficial insects, including flower bugs, ladybirds, hoverflies, lacewings, and parasitic wasps, which are essential for natural pest control.
