Natural gall midge solution for aphids
APHIDOcontrol contains pupae of the gall midge Aphidoletes aphidimyza. After hatching, adult midges are active mainly at twilight, laying eggs within aphid colonies to complete their life cycle. This approach is suitable for use against a broad range of aphid species and can be applied in many crops as part of an integrated pest management strategy.
Benefits of APHIDOcontrol :
- ✅ Consistent quality: Pupae composition is carefully prepared for reliable emergence.
- ✅ Flexible use: Can be applied preventively or when aphids are present.
- ✅ Even distribution: Adults spread quickly throughout the greenhouse.
How APHIDOcontrol works
The larvae hatch approximately two days after egg laying and begin feeding on aphids immediately. Adult gall midges are highly mobile and can locate aphid colonies effectively. Females typically lay eggs in areas with high aphid concentrations. Optimal conditions are temperatures between 20 and 30 °C and around 16 hours of daylight.
