How does APHIPAR work?
This parasitoid is specialized in the control of cotton aphid and green peach aphid. It is a very efficient parasitoid that can parasitize numerous aphids in a short time. Parasitized aphids bulge into a grey-brown; round mummy. The mummies can be discovered in the crop after about two weeks. Young parasitoids emerge from the mummy via a round hole and start to look for aphids to parasitize.
How to combine APHIPAR?
If the aphids have developed into large colonies; it is advised to release APHIDEND in addition to APHIPAR. The larvae of this gall midge are great at removing aphid hot spots. Another insect specialized in controlling aphid hot spots is the larva of the lacewing CHRYSOPA.
