Aphiline Mix - Vial - 500 Individuals

APHILINE MIX - Vial - 500 Individuals - Aphidius colemani + Aphidius ervi is a highly specialized biological control product formulated to tackle a broader spectrum of aphid pests through a dual-species approach. This vial contains 500 parasitoid wasps, an expertly mixed blend of Aphidius colemani and Aphidius ervi, which adapts to differing sizes and species of aphids. It is of great use to growers with a wide variety of crops that experience infestations from both small and large-bodied aphids.

This synergistic blend works best in greenhouses and indoor vertical farms as well as other controlled spaces that have chronic and intricate aphid infestations. The quicker and more agile targeting of A. colemani is combined with the more robust specialization of A. ervi on large aphids, achieving balance in defense across various species of aphids.

Biological Mechanism of Action

Parasitoid Complementarity

With APHILINE MIX - Vial - 500 Individuals - Aphidius colemani + Aphidius ervi, targeting a broader range of aphids is effective because of the dual-species approach. Aphidius colemani efficiently parasitizes smaller Myzus persicae and Aphis gossypii, while the larger aphids Macrosiphum euphorbiae and Aulacorthum solani are well catered to by Aphidius ervi.

Upon being released, the parasitoids autonomously hunt suitable hosts. The female wasp lays its eggs within the aphid, resulting in the development of aphid mummies. These mummified aphids later give rise to a new generation of parasitoid offspring which ensures long-term population control.

Controlled Species of Aphids

This mix effectively targets:

• Green peach aphid – Myzus persicae
• Cotton aphid – Aphis gossypii
• Potato aphid – Macrosiphum euphorgia
• Foxglove aphid – Aulacorthum solani

Application Best Practices

Recommended Use Recommended use is at the first sign of infestation, but best results are seen from using it preventatively. Best results are seen under heavy multi-species aphid infestations. The wasps need to be directly released around the infested areas, allowing them to disseminate vertically throughout the crop.

Environmental Compliance

These parasitoids excel in conditions between 64°F to 77°F and relative humidity above 60%. Limiting exposure to synthetic insecticides will enhance vital, reproductive, and their overall biological behavior.

Advantages of APHILINE MIX - Vial - 500 Individuals - Aphidius colemani + Aphidius ervi

Biological control of aphids is accomplished with the use of these parasitoids that overlap zones of parasitism for more than 90% suppression.

Small and large aphids are controlled.

Aid in the reduction of aphids across many different types of plants.

Improved Biological Efficiency:

Parasitism of differing species is done by age and size increment.

• The ability to search for food maximizes reproductive rate which in turn increases improved efficiency.
• Support faster knockdown of pests and quicker establishment.
• Your organic and normal farming systems can utilize this seamlessly.
• There are no residues from chemicals.
• Pesticides will not need to be applied often which helps in these scenarios.
• There is a reduction for the need of repeated pesticide applications.

Final Words

APHILINE MIX - Vial - 500 Individuals - Aphidius colemani + Aphidius ervi Provides exceptional effectiveness and adaptability due to the synergistic actions offered by two different species of parasitoid which aids in the control of ones aphids.

This assists in simplifying protocols set aside for growers because these pests can obviate the need for multiple treatments.It makes it an ideal option to be utilized for sustaining a crop in the long run. Pairing with frequent monitoring enhances its effectiveness. Proactive at vulnerable growth stages keeps the crops shielded. Releasing two species is a tactical move set to attaining sustained biological control that is pest devoid and yields abundantly.
