Aphid Double Mix | A. Colemani & A. Ervi

Target Pests Small-bodied aphids: Green peach, melon/cotton, black bean, and other small aphid species. Large-bodied aphids: Potato, foxglove, pea, and other large aphid species. Product Description This mix pairs two parasitoids for broader aphid coverage: Aphidius colemani targets smaller-bodied aphids, while Aphidius ervi handles larger species. You'll receive aphid mummies ready to hatch and continue the cycle. Eggs hatch into larvae within 2-5 days, feed and pupate inside the aphid host, then emerge as adults to parasitize more aphids. Females can lay 100+ eggs over their 2-week lifespan. Crops Vegetables · Soft Fruit · Hemp · Ornamentals · Tree Nurseries Usages Greenhouses · Indoor Facilities · Field Crops · Gardens Introduction Rates 1-5 insects per 10 sq. ft., weekly, for 2-3 weeks Temperature range: 50-86°F Rates are general guidelines. Actual needs vary by pest species, plant, and infestation level. Monitor both pests and released insects to gauge success. Application Gently disperse the aphid mummies onto infested plants (not directly on soil). Leave the open container on its side at the release site for 24 hours so remaining insects can exit, and let the contents stay dry for a few days. Pro Tips If you use yellow sticky traps, remove them for a few days after release. Watch for golden/brown mummies. A clean round hole means an adult parasitoid has emerged. Release frequency may need adjusting based on plant type, pest load, temperature, and other predator/parasite populations present.
