Unlike Aphidius wasps, Aphelinus is not hindered by hyperparasitism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse release rates by infestation: Preventative 1-2 wasps per square foot; Moderate infestation 2-4 per square foot; Heavy infestation 4-8 per square foot. Release when pest populations are low to moderate, in the early morning or late afternoon, near infested plants, and distribute evenly. Water plants before and after release to help establishment. Remove sticky cards prior to release and leave the bottle in space for continued emergence from mummies. Open the vial in the greenhouse, tap to distribute the adult parasites and pupae over affected areas, and finish by placing the open vial horizontally at the base of infected plants for remaining adults to emerge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e📋 Product summary:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eParasitic wasp that targets larger aphid species, including potato aphids and foxglove aphids.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eNot hindered by hyperparasites, with a relatively long life and oviposition period.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCan lay 5-10 eggs per day.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eApplication rates: Preventative 1-2 wasps\/ft²; Moderate 2-4\/ft²; Heavy 4-8\/ft².\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eRelease guidance: when pest populations are low to moderate; early morning or late afternoon; near infested plants; distribute evenly; water before\/after release.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHandling steps: remove sticky cards before release; leave bottle for continued emergence; open vial in greenhouse; tap to distribute; place open vial at base of infected plants for remaining adults.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSuitable crops: vegetables (capsicum, tomatoes, eggplant); ornamentals (gerbera, chrysanthemum, rose); nurseries; herbs.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eItem BW-AD1K - 100ml vial (1K).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Growers House Auto","offers":[{"title":"100ml vial (1K)","offer_id":46434638201028,"sku":"AD1K","price":309.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"30 ml vial - 250 adults - vermiculite","offer_id":46434638233796,"sku":"AD25","price":104.67,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0621\/5971\/6548\/files\/Growers-House-Auto-4_d34f81e9-bcc4-4fac-af46-545afd7a8b92.png?v=1784743224","url":"https:\/\/shop.soil911.com\/products\/growershouse-aphelinus-abdominalis-control-aphid","provider":"Tampa Home \u0026 Garden Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
