Product Description

What APHIDIUSforce™ C Targets

APHIDIUSforce™ C contains Aphidius colemani, a highly effective parasitoid wasp used for aphid control, utilizing Aphidius and Aphelinus parasites. This beneficial insect explicitly targets small to medium-sized aphid species such as the Green Peach Aphid (Myzus persicae) and the Melon Aphid (Aphis gossypii), which are common in greenhouse crops, indoor facilities, and garden environments.

Best Use Cases and Application Strategy

APHIDIUSforce™ C works best as a preventative treatment, especially when aphid pressure is low. For heavier infestations, it can be paired with aphid predators like Chrysoperla or Aphidoletes. Aphidius colemani also thrives in setups that use banker plants, offering a cost-effective strategy for long-term biological control.

Environmental Conditions

Unlike chemical sprays, APHIDIUSforce™ C Aphidius colemani aphid parasitoid offers sustainable, residue-free pest control that is safe for beneficial insects and pollinators. It’s suitable for use in organic production and can be deployed in greenhouses, indoor grows, hydroponics, or outdoor crops.

Tips for Success, Product Options and Release Recommendations

For best results, release weekly at the recommended rates and monitor aphid levels closely. Keep sticky cards out for the first few days post-release to avoid trapping newly emerged adults.

Choose from 500, 1,000, or 5,000 count options depending on the size of your grow and the severity of your aphid issue.

Release instructions for the use of Aphidius Colemani, Aphidius Ervi, A.Colemani/Ervi Mix and A.Colemani/Ervi/Aphelinus Mix

If you’ve received aphid “mummies” which have not yet begun to emerge, you may store the bottle at 64-80°F in a highly humid, shaded location until hatch begins (check twice daily). Allow up to 7 days for hatch.

When the “mummies” begin to emerge, release at sundown the same day. To release, open the container in the crop and allow the wasps to fly out on their own as you walk among the plants. You can speed up their exit by gently tapping them out. If they begin to exit too quickly or if dispersal control is not manageable (which may happen when they’re warm), re-secure the cap between release points. Concentrate the bulk of them at release points on or near the most heavily infested plants or where aphids are most likely to make
an appearance. For any that will not readily come out of the bottle, or if some remain non-emerged, simply tuck the bottle into the foliage of a plant, preferably one with the heaviest pest population. The “mummies” may also be sprinkled out. We recommend the removal of most yellow sticky traps prior to release.
Do not store the emerged adult wasps in the bottle for more than 18 hours. Hold at a humid 45-55°F (fridge best). Do not attempt to cold-store the wasps’ pupae for periods exceeding 72 hours.
