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