Aphelinus

Aphelinus-System – reliable control of large aphid species

Why this parasitic wasp is so powerful

Widely employed to control potato aphid (Macrosiphum euphorbiae) and foxglove aphid (Aulacorthum solani)
Highly efficient – Aphelinus abdominalis controls aphid adults and nymphs
Long term activity – longer lifespan compared to other parasitic wasps
Stays put – wasp stays locally active, doesn’t swarm
Withstands higher summer temperatures - compared to other wasp species
Also host-feeds – adult wasps also feed on small aphid species contributing to control.

How does Aphelinus-System achieve such good control?

Female wasp punctures host and lays egg inside the aphid host 
Parasitised aphids clearly visible -as black mummies
Each parasitic wasp can control 5-10 aphids/day (up to 250 in total)
