Application
Aphidius-Mix-System can be released on all crops on which com-patible hosts occur. In view of the fast reproduction of aphids, they have to be controlled early. Aphidius colemani and ervi are very suited for preventative control. In several greenhouse crops, such as sweet pepper, cucumber, eggplant, rose and chrysanthemum, preventative weekly introductions of minimally 0.15 Aphidius/m are recommended. As soon as aphids are detected on sticky traps (BUG-SCAN) or on the plants, quantities are increased to 0.5 - 1 Aphidius/ m/week, depending on the crop and the situation, for at least 3 weeks. In case of a curative treatment often the gall midge Aphidoletes aphidimyza is released simultaneously. More serious infestations of aphids are tackled with the ladybird Adalia bipunctata. From summer on, aphid control with Aphidius colemani and ervi can be hampered by the presence of hyperparasites!
GUIDE LEAD TIME: 6-10 days
