How does Aphipar work

Adult female parasitic wasps lay their eggs parasitically in the aphids, causing them to swell and harden into leathery, grey/brown mummies. The first adult parasitic wasps emerge through a round hole at the rear of the mummy approximately 2 weeks after introduction. Aphipar is especially useful at the beginning of aphid infestations.

Application Aphipar

Spread the material on rock wool slabs or in Diboxes
Make sure the material remains dry and is not moved from its introduction site for at least a few days
Use the peel-off label to mark where the product has been introduced

Best working conditions Aphipar

Efficacy reduces at temperatures above 30°C.

Handling

Biological beneficials have a very short life expectancy and therefore need to be introduced into the crop as soon as possible after receipt. Failure to do so can have a negative impact on their quality. In case you do need to store Aphipar, please follow the instructions below.

Storage

After receipt: 1-2 days
Storage temperature: 8-10°C/47-50°F
In the dark

Pesticides can have (in)direct effects on beneficials. Check here
