Erviline biological control agent
Contains the Braconid wasp Aphidius ervi, which parasitizes larger aphid species for effective control in crops.
Benefits of Erviline :
- ✅Preventive control: Targets large aphids before infestations grow.
- ✅No diapause: Active even in low light conditions for reliable year-round control.
- ✅Ready to use: Adults begin to emerge during transit for immediate release.
- ✅Quality packaging: Provides food, ventilation, and clear visibility to assess quality and purity.
Main uses
Effective biological control of aphid pests in protected and open-field crops.
How it works
Females lay eggs in aphids. The egg hatches in 2–3 days; the larva feeds inside, creating a parasitized mummy on the plant. Lifecycle completes in ~14 days at 25°C (77°F) or 19 days at 21°C (70°F). Used preventively or curatively (at higher rates) near aphid colonies. For crops with established colonies, immediate, localized releases are recommended.
Application
Suitable for any crop where large aphid species such as Macrosiphum euphorbiae are principal pests. Can be integrated with other aphid management strategies for best results.
