Technical Comments
This mix contains Aphidius colemani(30), A. ervi (30), A. matricariae (30), Aphelinus abdominalis (40), Praon volucre (40) and Ephedrus cerasicola (70) (count per 240 vial). The mixtures reduce the need for accurate pest species identification and are suitable for preventative use against a range of aphid species, particularly in mixed cropping situations.
Activity / Control
Aphidius colemani is particularly effective against round bodied aphid species such as Myzus persicae (peach-potato aphid) and Aphis gossypii (melon cotton aphid). It can control large populations of aphids, but will take time to achieve this and may leave many parasitised 'mummy' bodies on plants. Aphidius ervi is specifically for the larger elliptical shaped species including Macrosiphum euphorbiae (potato aphid) and Aulacorthum solani (glasshouse potato aphid). Several other aphid species such as the pea aphid are also parasitised. Aphidius matricariae Has a slightly different host range to A. colemani and includes Ovatus crataegarius (mint aphid). Aphelinus abdominalis controls a wide range of aphid species including Macrosiphum euphorbiae (potato aphid) and Aulacorthum solani (glasshouse potato aphid). It has a very long life span. Praon volucre controls a wide range of aphid species including a number not controlled by other available aphid parasites and has a long life cycle. Ephedrus cerasicola has a long life cycle and high rate of egg laying capacity. Effective on a wide range of aphid species. The adult wasp inserts its egg into the aphid, a parasite larva develops killing the aphid, producing a characteristic goldenbrown papery 'mummy' with Aphidius and Praon species, and black 'mummy' with Aphelinus species. Aphids parasitised with Ephedrus hide to die. An adult parasitic wasp later emerges through a round hole on the mummified aphid. The adult wasps also feed as a predator on aphids, killing one or more each day.
