Citripar, produced by Koppert biological system, is a preparation made from the pupae of Anagyrus vladimiri, a parasitic hymenopteran, belonging to the entomofauna of the Mediterranean basin, active in the natural control of cottony cochineals of vines. Its use, possibly combined with the technique of sexual confusion, allows for the control of different species of cottony cochineals without having to resort to insecticidal formulations, which, moreover, in terms of those permitted by current regulations, are not very effective. Therefore, Citripar for vineyard protection stands as a new technology, especially for the formulation and simplicity of the applications that, in any case, must take into account the vineyard’s insecticidal defence plan and the biology of the parasite to be controlled.
