Aphiline -Sawdust - 5000 Individuals- Bottle

The APHILINE -sawdust- Bottle - 5000 Individuals contains the parasitic wasp (aphidius colemani) and is a high-efficiency biological control product aimed at the small to medium-bodied aphid pests found on crops. It is supplied in a thermoplastic container of sawdust, which makes application easy and dispersing control flexible throughout the crops.

This formulation contains 5000 live parasitoids per bottle and is designed for moderate to large area infestations, or scheduled preventative release programs. Aphidius colemani is an important biocontrol agent, because wasps rapidly parasitize and turn the aphids into living mummies — suppressing their population and reproducing hundreds of new adult wasps.

Mode of Action How Aphidius colemani Controls Aphids Aphidius colemani captures prey by inserting one of her eggs into an aphid host. The larva that survives develops consumes the host from within, ultimately killing the aphid and transforming it into a tan, papery mummy out of which the adult parasitoid will eclose.

Instructions to Follow

• Easy Distribution with Sawdust Carrier
• Remove cap and shake the bottle to spread the parasitoids over the targeted infested agricultural zones.
• Distribute fairly to the edges of the colonies or to the leaves in shaded growth areas.
• To protect adults, do not release the container into the direct sunlight.

Allow the target area to the environment for a few hours to sustain after using the product and remove the cap portion of the bottle.

Best Practice Tips

• Application should be done in the early part of the day or the late afternoon hours.
• Inspections that involve the use of pesticides should not precede or coincide the release period.
• Ensure temperatures between the ranges of 65-77°F  with reasonable humidity levels for the best parasitoid results.

Start regular treatments every week or two weeks which ever is suitable for the number of aphids present and the density of the crops.
