Aphiline Mix - 10 Blisters - 1000 Individuals

APHILINE MIX – 10 Blisters - 1000 Individuals - Aphidius colemani + Aphidius ervi is an excellent, slow-release biological control product specifically tailored for accurate and thorough aphid control within diversified cropping systems, featuring a 50/50 blend of Aphidius colemani and Aphidius ervi. These two species are useful for targeted parasitism against both small and large aphid species.

Packaged with 1000 parasitoids in 10 blister packs, the product provides extensive coverage through gradual emergence of the parasitoids. This approach provides reliable suppression of aphid infestations while enabling sustainable chemical-free growing conditions in greenhouses, tunnels, and high-value horticultural crops.

Complementary Parasitoid Behavior

Functional Biology and Target Pest Control

Each species of parasitoid in APHILINE MIX—10 Blisters—1000 Individuals—Aphidius colemani + Aphidius ervi has its unique set of aphid targets they are adapted to:

• Aphidius colemani efficiently parasitizes small-bodied aphids such as Myzus persicae and Aphis gossypii.
• Aphidius ervi specializes in the larger aphids like Macrosiphum euphorbiae and Aulacorthum solani.

Both species work through endoparasitism, where the female adults place fertilized eggs inside the living body of the aphid host. The larvae consume the aphid the mummy it was turned into and in turn, will emerge as a new parasitoid.

Targeted Aphid Species

This dual species concoction controls

• Myzus persicae (green peach aphid)
• Aphis gossypii (cotton aphid)
• Macrosiphum euphorbiae (potato aphid)
• Aulacorthum solani (foxglove aphid)
• Aphis spiraecola (spirea aphid)

Application Precautions for Success

Management Plan

Distribute blisters uniformly throughout the infested area concentrating on hotspots for aphids or the mid-levels in the canopy. The slow emergence enables the parasitoids to disperse and begin the initial stages of controlling the population of aphids. This technique works best for prevention or in combination with proactive intervention.

Environmental Adaptability

Maximum efficiency is between 64°F – 77°F with a relative humidity of over 60%. Do not apply pesticide within a few days prior as that can impact the activity of the parasitoid. This product is safe for use in organic farming and in conjunction with integrated pest control systems.
