Description
ERVILINE – Vial 30 mL – 1000 Individuals – Aphidius ervi is a self-sufficient biological pest control solution designed for commercial growers aiming to economically manage large-bodied aphids within expansive greenhouse or protected cropping systems. This solution contains 1000 Aphidius Ervi active parasitoids in a 30 mL vial which offers effortless, clean, and environmentally friendly pest control, particularly for oversized species which smaller parasitoids are often incapable of managing.
This product is specifically designed for rapid pest control dispersal and strong population establishment of parasitoids within crops infested with aphids such as Macrosiphum euphorbiae, Aulacorthum solani, and Sitobion avenae. It is a crucial tool for integrated pest management (IPM) systems aimed at eliminating pesticide use, reducing chemical imprint, and fostering sustainable pest resistance over time.
Biological Mode of Action of Aphidius ervi
Parasitoid Lifecycle and Efficacy
Aphidius ervi acts as an efficient endoparasitoid of large aphids. Endoparasitoid parasites have a unique reproductive strategy wherein the female searches for aphid colonies and injects an egg in each chosen target. The parasitoid larva will mercilessly slaughter the aphid host and consume it, the host will perish, the parasite will transform the mummy into which the aphid’s and soften interior into which it can survive. Exoskeleton encased mummies of hardened succumbed appendages will be left behind which grant the succeeding generation and population control in crops emerge from these mummies continue the cycle and sustain population control within crops.
Pest Aphid Species Controlled
This formulation is most useful for the control of:
- Macrosiphum euphorbiae (potato aphid)
- Aulacorthum solani (foxglove aphid)
- Sitobion avenae (grain aphid)
- Other large-bodied controlable aphids in captivity
- Application Instructions and Prerequisites for Optimal Success
Usage Practices
To maximize outcomes, make releases nearest to areas where aphids are heavily infesting or in suspected hotspots. Dispense evenly and broadcast concentrate on the crop with special attention to the canopy and the lower sides of leaves where aphids tend to aggregate. The large volume of 1000 individuals permits rapid population establishment and field coverage.
Environmental Considerations
The parasitoids have greater efficiency in the presence of:
- Ambient temperatures between 18 - 25 °C
- Humidity of over 60%
- No chemical insecticides in the prior days
- Under these conditions, adult activity and reproduction together with parasitism is the most successful.
