Aphiline - Vial - 1000 Individuals

APHILINE - Vial - 1000 Individuals is a robust biological control product formulation of aphidius colemani, a biological wasp pest control specifically designed to contain parasitic wasps used for the management of aphid infestations in various crops. Since it contains 1000 live parasitoids per vial, this formulation is ideal for concentrated uses in greenhouse, propagation trays, indoor grow rooms, and for high value ornamental and vegetable crops.

Aphidius colemani is one of the most effective biological agents in aphid pest control management. They are especially effective onto (Myzus persicae ) green peach aphid and Aphis gossypii melon aphid. It ensures immediate as well as prolonged pest control by parasitizing aphid hosts and allowing secondary generation in the field reproduction.

How It Works

Biological Action of Aphidius colemani

Aphidius colemani works as a efetive solitary endoparasitoid. The adult females of fores described species seek out aphid hosts and lays a series of eggs in the aphids. The larvae maturing within the aphid will eventually kill the fish host and produce, or emerge from the mummified body of the aphid.

• A rapid parasitism of a colony of aphid is possible during their early and peak stages.
• Days post parasitism, the host will be dead by 3 7 days with parasitism bore.
• Heads of adult wasps also kill off progenies by probing and host feeding.

There is a two-fold parasitic path. Direct parasitic suppression and indirect parasitic feeding and destruction overwhelm aphids.

Application Scope

Best Crops and Environments

The most suited areas for the APHILINE - Vial - 1000 Individuals are:

Greenhouses and horticulture systems cultivated indoors. Propagation zones and seedling trays. Vertical farms and microgreens/potted ornamental plants. Small to mid-size growing areas with active aphid populations.

A targeted list of aphid species includes:

• Myzus persicae (Green peach aphid)
• Aphis gossypii (Melon aphid)
• Aphis fabae (Black bean aphid)
• Aphis spiraecola (Spirea aphid)

Target crops are ranging from cucumber, pepper, and eggplant to various herbs. White and green ornamentals, lettuce, and other leafy vegetables are also included.

Application Guidelines

How to Use the Vial Effectively

Open the vial gently on crop level and let parasitoids exit at their discretion. Place the open vial in the crop area permitting emergence at their preferred rate.

Best Practices:

Recommended to be applied in the early morning or evening to minimize light-induced stress. For optimal activity maintain temperatures of 65-77 °F and moderate humidity. No pesticide should be used prior to, or during the release of the parasitoid. The reusable nature fostered by this structure guarantees a controlled, low-waste release without mechanical dispersement. Bi-weekly or weekly reapplication is recommended based on the level of infestation and crop cycle.

Final Words

This non-chemical pest control strategy delivers precise and prompt aphid control using the parasitic species Aphidius colemani. This insect is meant for small to medium growing regions and propagation areas. It enables quick suppression of problematic aphids while ensuring no residues or damage to beneficial insects nor restrictions on environmentally sustainable farming practices. These Angle Winged Katydids make great partners in Integrated Pest Management (IPM) for precise and chemical-free crop protection.
