Summary
The Ramacca Biofactory in Sicily breeds beneficial insects for citrus farming. This video presents some of the insects that are produced: The first is a parasitoid called Aphytis melinus. The second is a predator, a ladybird. It is called Cryptolaemus montrouzieri. We will also look at the two species on which these two useful insects are bred (Aspidiotus nerii and Planococcus citri).
