Use Aphidend for biological pest control of a wide range of aphid species, especially if aphid colonies appear.
How does Aphidend work?
Aphid colonies disperse a smell of honeydew that attracts adult gall-midges. They deposit their eggs in these colonies, providing an immediate food source for the larvae. Upon hatching, the larvae paralyze and then consume the aphids.
How to use Aphidend
Application Aphidend
Open the bottle of Aphidend in the greenhouse
Place the bottle directly on the soil or hang it in between the plants to keep it out of reach of ants.
Do not scatter the contents!
Once hatched, the gall-midges will leave the bottle and spread
One bottle of Aphidend has a range of approximately 3,000 m2. The 500 ml bottle introduces at least three gall-midges per m2.
Use the peel-off label to mark where the product has been introduced
Best working conditions Aphidend
Apply Aphidend in an environment with a high relative humidity to reach the best results. As gall-midges are active at night, it is crucial to keep the night temperature above 12°C/61°F, to ensure optimal conditions for oviposition.
Handling
Biological beneficials have a very short life expectancy and therefore need to be introduced into the crop as soon as possible after receipt. Failure to do so can have a negative impact on their quality. In case you do need to store Aphidend, please follow the instructions below. Koppert B.V. is not liable for any loss of quality if the product is stored longer and/or under different conditions than recommended.
