BIOLOGICAL CONTROL
Aphid Control
Aphids are soft bodied, round insects which feed on plant sap. While feeding off the sap of plants, aphids excrete excess sugars as honeydew on plants.
• Large amounts of honeydew encourage growth of sooty moulds which weaken the plant
• Some species of aphid can also produce distortions of leaves
Aphiline
Aphidius colemani
Aphiline biological control agent contains the Braconid wasp, Aphidius colemani. This wasp stings and parasitizes smaller aphid species, such as the melon or cotton aphid (Aphis gossypii), peach aphid (Myzus persicae) and tobacco aphid (Myzus nicotianae).
Aphiline Mixes
Aphidoline
Aphidoletes aphidimyza
Aphidoline biological control agent contains the predatory midge, Aphidoletes aphidimyza. This voracious midge lays its eggs in colonies of aphids, and the predatory larvae then attacks and feeds on the aphid prey. Aphidoletes aphidimyza larvae feed on more than 60 different species of aphid.
Erviline
Aphidius ervi
Erviline biological control agent contains the Braconid wasp, Aphidius ervi. It stings and parasitizes larger aphids, such as the foxglove aphid, Aulacorthum solani, and the potato aphid, Macrosiphum euphorbiae, as well as several other aphid species.
