Aphidius (Aphid control)
$21.85
Aphidius is a small (3-5mm) parasitic wasp that specialises in parasitising green peach aphid (Myzus persicae), melon aphid (Aphis gossypii), cow pea aphid (Aphis craccivora) and many other aphid species.
Aphidius is known to be useful in indoor and outdoor crops such as, capsicum, cucumber, tomato, chrysanthemum and other ornamentals as part of an integrated pest management programme.
The female wasp inserts an egg into the body of an aphid which hatches into a larva. The larva remains within the aphid's body feeding on the internal tissues and eventually kills it. Both immature and adult aphids, as well as winged and wingless forms of aphids can be parasitised.
