Aphilin
Aphelinus abdominalis – Parasitic Wasp
How It Works: Adult Aphelinus abdominalis emerge from aphid mummies and begin laying eggs inside live aphids. As the next generation of parasitic wasps develops, the aphid transforms into a leathery mummy. The adult wasp later emerges through a small hole at the rear of the mummy. In addition to parasitizing aphids, adult wasps also feed on them, further reducing the pest population.
Target Pests: Controls the potato aphid (Macrosiphum euphorbiae), glasshouse potato aphid (Aulacorthum solani), and the peach potato aphid (Myzus persicae).
Best Use:
- When wanting to prevent the above aphids.
- In aphid hotspots.
Shelf Life: within 1-2 days of receipt.
Important Information for Use:
- Immediate Action: This product starts working as soon as it is introduced to the plants. However, visible results, such as aphids turning into mummies, will become noticeable after 14-21 days.
- Limited Mobility: These wasps are not strong flyers, so strategic placement is important for effective control.
