Pests or targeted use
Especially for cotton aphid (Aphis gossypii), tobacco aphid (Myzus persicae var. nicotianae), green peach aphid (Myzus persicae var. persicae).
Application and monitoring
Mode of action
Adult parasitoid wasps emerge from mummified aphids, and females lay their eggs in aphids. The next generation of parasitoid wasps develops inside the aphid, which hardens into a tanned mummy. The adult parasitoid emerges through an opening at the back of the mummy. The first mummies are observed in crops approximately 10 to 14 days after the first introduction.
How to recognize its activity
Parasitized aphids turn into a brown mummy.
Application method
- Place the material on rock wool slabs or in designated boxes (Dibox).
- Ensure the material remains dry and in place for a few days
Dose and frequency
The dose of Aphipar depends on the climate, crop, and aphid density, and must always be adapted to the situation. Begin preventive introduction shortly after planting the crop. Introduction rates generally range from 0.25 to 4 individuals per m² /release. Releases should be repeated at least three times. Consult a specialist if pest pressure, crop, or conditions require a customized program.

Most effective between 20 and 25°C (68 and 77°F). Efficacy is reduced at temperatures above 30°C (86°F).
Use with other biological controls

Compatibility and responsible use
Pesticides can have direct or indirect effects on beneficial insects and pollinators. Before any chemical treatment, validate its compatibility with the chosen beneficial insect by following the pesticide label and the advice of a qualified specialist. Use only a product authorized for your country, province, and crop, and always comply with local requirements.
