General information:

When to use Aphipar-M

How does Aphipar-M work?

Adult female parasitic wasps lay their eggs parasitically in the aphids. This causes them to swell and harden into leathery, grey/brown mummies. The first adult parasitic wasps emerge through a round hole at the rear of the mummies approximately 10-14 days after introduction.

How to use Aphipar-M

• Spread the material on rock wool slabs or in application boxes (Dibox)
• Make sure the material remains dry and is not moved from its introduction site for at least a few days
• Use the peel-off label to mark where the product has been introduced
