Tailored advice can be provided if information is available on the local factors that need to be taken into account, such as the crop, the climate conditions and the level of infestation. For the correct approach, please consult a specialist of our company.
How does Aphipar - M 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 mummies approximately 10-14 days after introduction.
Application Aphipar - M
- Spread the material on rock wool slabs or in application boxes (Dibox)
- 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 - M
Efficacy reduces at temperatures above 28°C.
Handling

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