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<br />
week, for local hotspots increase the rate up to 10<br />
per 1 m2.
