Product details
The larvae of Sphaerophoria rueppellii are voracious aphid predators, consuming up to 200 aphids during development. They actively seek out colonies in dense crop canopies, providing rapid and localized control. The larvae develop into adult hoverflies, which are very mobile in the environment and are very effective at searching for aphid populations through a crop canopy, the adults play a dual role as they feed on pollen and nectar, supporting pollination.
