What is an Aphid Biostation?

The Aphid Biostation is a reusable release station designed to hold biological control products and help beneficial insects and parasitoids disperse effectively into the crop.

How many products can the Aphid Biostation hold?

The station can accommodate up to four biological control products at one time.

Which biological controls can I use with it?

The station can be used with products including Aphidend (Aphidoletes), Aphipar (Aphidius colemani) and Miglyphus (Diglyphus). Always check the release requirements of the individual biological control before use.

Why do different products need different positions?

Different beneficial insects have specific release requirements. Correctly positioning each product helps the beneficial insects emerge and disperse effectively.

Does the Aphid Biostation protect biological controls?

Its design helps shield the product bottles from direct UV exposure and irrigation while they are positioned within the crop.

How is the Aphid Biostation attached?

Movable magnets allow the station to be secured to suitable metal structures around a glasshouse, including stanchions and heating pipes.

Can the Aphid Biostation be used for pests other than aphids?

Yes. It can also accommodate Miglyphus (Diglyphus), which is used as a biological control for leaf miners.
