Aphidius ervi

Aphidius ervi from the family Hymenoptera Braconidae is used against aphids such as Macrosiphum, Aulacorthum, Acyrtosiphon and others, all of which are large in size relative to the preferred species of A. colemani. In the adult stage, the parasitic wasp reaches 4-5 mm and has a blackish body with long antennae characteristic of this family. Aphidius is a solitary parasitoid, all larval stages take place within a single aphid. Adult females have a high potential for finding aphids in which they lay eggs. Thus, aphids infected with these parasites do not die immediately, but slowly deplete from the inside, swell and turn a characteristic brown colour ”mummy“. ErviPAK250 contains larvae or adults and is used for biological control in horticultural and horticultural crops. Eviction must be timely. The release can be made in small quantities where aphids are predicted to appear.
