Parasitic Wasp Mix – Natural Aphid Control for Berries

The Parasitic Wasp Mix – Berries is a biological pest control solution designed to target round-bodied aphid species such as Myzus persicae (peach-potato aphid) and Aphis gossypii (melon cotton aphid). This mix provides effective and sustainable aphid management, helping to reduce infestations naturally over time. As part of the control process, parasitised aphids may appear as ‘mummy’ bodies on plants.

How It Works

This specially formulated mix of beneficial parasitoids targets aphids at various life stages, gradually reducing populations. While effective against established infestations, it is best applied at the first sign of aphids or used preventatively early in the season.

Application & Coverage

Peel off the outer layer of the label starting at the upper right corner Hang the
cylinder horizontally from a crop wire, branch, or leaf stalk by winding the label around it and sticking the end of the label back onto the label Turn the lid until the small holes align with the opening Apply as soon as possible after receipt. If necessary, the product can be stored for 1-2 days. Store in the dark between 8-10°C.

Application Rate:

The dosage of Aphiscout depends on climate, crop and aphid density and
species, and should always be adjusted to the particular situation. Start introduction preventively soon after planting of the crop. Introduction rates typically range from 0.75-1.5 parasitic wasps per m2. This is equivalent to one unit every 250-350 m2. The parasitic wasps will emerge within 2 weeks. Releases should be repeated when aphids are still present. If the aphid species present is known it might be better to switch to an appropriate single species product (Aphilin, Aphipar, Aphipar-M or Ervipar).

This biological control method is suitable for berry crops, fruiting plants, greenhouses, and outdoor growing.
