Most Effective Control:
Aphid Parasites
(Special order, order by Wednesday to ship the following Tuesday)
Aphid Parasites (Aphidius colemani + Aphidius ervi mix) lay their eggs inside living Aphids, which then develop into leathery-looking”mummies”. A new adult parasite then flies out from a circular hole cut in the mummy.
Special Species Notes: Parasites have been proven successful in European greenhouses, and are shipped near hatching or as adults (no choice).
Application: Shake directly from shipping container onto leaves. For preventive control, apply regular small releases throughout the growing season.
