How to use

Syrphidend is supplied as 50 pupae, from which adult Episyrphus balteatus hoverflies emerge.

Introduce the pupae into the treatment area according to the product-specific instructions. Once emerged, adult hoverflies disperse throughout the crop and search for aphid colonies where they can lay their eggs.

After hatching, the larvae feed directly on aphids within the colonies.

Monitor aphid populations and hoverfly activity following introduction and follow the product-specific guidance for application rates, introduction frequency and suitable crop conditions.

Specifications

Active Ingredients Pack size: 50 Episyrphus balteatus pupae- 1 Week lead time for ordering. Presentation: 3.5 x 3.5 x 3.5 cm cardboard box. Carrier: Buckwheat hulls and vermiculite.
Tech Comments Combined use: For effective control of aphids combine with other predators and/or parasitoids.
Control Adult hoverflies emerge from the pupae and deposit their eggs in the aphid colonies. The young larvae start feeding on the aphids. Visual effect: Aphids are consumed entirely, only skin remains. Dark excrements (meconium) on the leaves is an indicator of hoverfly larvae activity. Environmental conditions: Syrphidend is most effective between 15 and 23°C. High humidity is favourable for larval development and hatching of pupae. Adult hoverflies feed on pollen and nectar. Ensure flowering plants are present for optimal establishment.
