Aphidoletes Aphidimyza<br />
Type: A small, orange predatory larva, the adult is a<br />
nocturnal midge fly.<br />
How it works: Introduced as cocoons from which<br />
adults emerge. The blister packs enable monitoring<br />
and mating of adults on release. Adults lay eggs next<br />
to aphid colonies located by the scent of honeydew,<br />
larvae develop as tiny orange maggots that feed on<br />
aphids. One larva can survive on 5 large aphids but<br />
will kill up to 35 or more.<br />
Species controlled: Larvae feed on over 60 aphid<br />
species, including those common in field and<br />
protected crops within the UK.<br />
When to use: Between April and September for<br />
re-cycling generations, however they can be used all<br />
year round if supplementary lighting is available.<br />
Rates of use: Normally 1 Cocoon per 1 m2 per week,<br />
for local hotspots increase the rate up to 10 per 1 m2<br />
Steinernema Kraussei<br />
Type: Microscopic nematodes.<br />
How it works: The Nematode worms seek vine<br />
Weevil Larvae in moist soil and compost, larger<br />
weevil grubs are more easily located. Nematodes<br />
enter the weevil larvae and release a small pellet of<br />
bacteria that kills the host after a few days. The<br />
parasitic wores begin to reproduce, releasing several<br />
thousnad more juvenile infective nematodes able to<br />
find and kill further weevil grubs.<br />
Species controlled: Black Vine Weevil (Otiorhynchus<br />
Sulcatus) and other soil living Larvae.<br />
When to use: Autumn and Spring are the main<br />
seasons for nematode application, although<br />
additional treatments may be needed for heated or<br />
protected crops. It is important that the soil or<br />
compost is kept moist (not water logged) They will<br />
work as low as 5°c allowing applications to be made<br />
whenever the pest is active. Apply as a drench,<br />
dilutor, watering can or through most irrigation lines.<br />
In all cases remove any fine filters and ensure water<br />
temparature is between 5 and 15°c.<br />
