STICKY TRAPS

Remove any yellow sticky traps for the first few days after introduction.

Mummies can be observed on leaves of the crop 10-14 days after the first application. Aphelinus abdominalis produces black mummies, where others such as Aphidius colemani and Aphidius ervi produce golden/brown mummies. A perfectly round hole at the back of the mummy indicates that an adult parasitoid has emerged.

Depending on the size and type of plants, the number and type of pests, other predator and parasite populations, and temperature, the frequency of releases may be affected.
