APHIcontrol (70028-3) 1,000 - (100 ml)

SKU #: 2600130

Aphidius colemani is a parasitic wasp from family Braconidae. It parasitizes the aphids in the crop. Once the wasp finds the host, it lays its eggs inside the aphid. The adult of A. colemani parasitizes about 300 aphids.

Natural aphid solution

APHIcontrol contains mummies of the parasitic wasp Aphidius colemani. Adult wasps emerge from these mummies and lay their eggs inside aphids, using them to complete their life cycle.

Benefits of APHIcontrol :

  • ✅ Quick establishment: Adult wasps emerge rapidly from mummies.
  • ✅ Effective searching: Capable of locating aphids even at low densities.
  • ✅ Preventive approach: Can be introduced before visible infestations.
  • ✅ High egg production: Females lay approximately 80–100 eggs per day.

 

Target pests

Aphidius colemani is used for managing smaller aphid species such as Aphis gossypii (cotton aphid), Myzus persicae (peach aphid), and Myzus nicotianae (tobacco aphid).

Suitable crops

This approach is suitable for many crops where aphids are a common issue. It can be applied in vegetable production and ornamentals.

Application considerations

Note that empty mummies may remain on the crop. In ornamental crops, this can affect visual appearance, but it is usually not an issue in vegetables. Regular use in greenhouses is recommended.
