Description
APHILINE - 10 Blister - 1000 Individuals - The Power Of Aphidius colemani as a biological pest control tool under pest management programs deals with preemptive and corrective management of pest challenges. For professional and commercial growers, this product formulation offers 1000 active parasitoids of Aphidius colemani packed in 10 blisters for ease of use. These wasps are masters at dealing with small aphids like Myzus persicae and Aphis gossypii, which makes them suitable for IPM systems in greenhouses, indoor, and tunnel crop production.
Each blister acts as a controlled-release station with each providing a gradual and constant release of parasitoid wasps into engineered environments like greenhouses, where they will be able to freely move around. This system ensures that field activity is prolonged to guarantee the timely suppression of aphid populations before they are able to economically damage crop value.
Functional Mechanism of APHILINE - 10 Blister - 1000 Individuals - The Power Of Aphidius colemani
Parasitoid Behavior and Lifecycle
Eggs are laid on specially selected hosts and the Aphidius colemani females make use of their sight paired with their sense of smell to find and identify suitable aphid hosts. Having found a suitable target, they deposit an egg into each selected host aphid. The larvae formed will execute a form of mummification after killing the host by turning it into a mummified husk. This method of parasitism is widely regarded as one of the best in terms of long-term sustainability and active pest control.
- Target Pests
- This blister style is especially useful for:
- Myzus persicae (green peach aphid)
- Aphis gossypii (cotton aphid)
- Aphis spiraecola (spirea aphid)
- Application Methods and Environmental Requirements
Deployment Recommendations
Maximally efficient results will be achieved by blister placement on the growing area’s periphery, near known or likely aphid traffic areas. The blisters can be suspended on plant stems, support wires, or irrigation lines without affecting adult emergence. Emerging adults can freely disperse across the crop.
Ideal Environmental Conditions
Aphidius colemani does best in the temperatures of 65°F – 77°F and relative humidity above 60%. Broad-spectrum insecticides need to be avoided as they may interfere with the lifecycle development of the parasitoid. This product works best in protected crop settings such as:
- Greenhouses
- Tunnels
- Precious Horticultural Production Facilities

Final Word
The product APHILINE - 10 Blister - 1000 Individuals - Aphidius colemani provides a precise and environmentally friendly approach for dealing with an aphid outbreak. The design of 10 blisters permits adjusting the timing and volume of beneficial insect release and motivates constant readiness of the defender to detect and control the aphids before they multiply.
This initiative helps growers eliminate pesticide residues while fostering sustainable practices. To reap the full benefits, this product should be integrated into a holistic IPM plan that includes crop monitoring systems and tailoring application windows to the pest population timeline. This way, pest control efforts become both surgically targeted and ecologically sound.
