How does Ervipar work
Adult female parasitic wasps parasitize the aphids. Parasitized aphids swell and turn into leathery, grey- or brown-coloured mummies. The first adult parasites emerge through a round hole at the rear of the mummy approximately 2 weeks after introduction.
Application Ervipar

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
-
Use Ervipar when aphid infestations are first observed, at the earliest sign of pest presence.
