APHIDOcontrol contains pupae of the gall midge Aphidoletes aphidimyza, which effectively targets a wide range of aphid species. Upon hatching, the adult gall midge primarily operates during twilight hours, laying its eggs within aphid colonies. These gall midges efficiently drain aphids, leaving behind only dehydrated remnants. Studies indicate that over 60 aphid species are susceptible to Aphidoletes aphidimyza. Serving as a vital component in aphid management, this species can be applied across various crops.
The larvae of the gall midge hatch after two days and immediately start eating aphids after hatching. Adult gall midges display great mobility and adept searching skills. Female Aphidoletes aphidimyza strategically lay their eggs in areas abundant with food, commonly found in aphid hot spots. Aphidoletes aphidimyza thrives best at temperatures between 20 and 30°C, with a daylight duration of 16 hours.
