Hello,
we are facing to some problem with Macrolophus pygmaeus population in the greenhouse. We have introduce Macrolophus bug into the tomato greenhouse 5 months ago and reintroduce it about 4 weeks ago. We haven´t used any chemical pesticides, temperature is optimal, we even feed them by Ephestia eggs. So far, the development is very weak and we are in the risk of some pest probem (whiteflies).
What could have caused such problem to Macrolophus population? Could it be Entomophtora?
Some ideas how to help Macrolophus to build up a strong population?
Thank you
