BB - Aphelinus abdominalis System 1,000 (100 ml) with Buckwheat
#17239
Quantity Per Case: N/A
Quantity Per Pallet: N/A
Female wasps detect infested plants by sensing odors and aphid honeydew, then parasitize both adult and nymph aphids. Using her ovipositor, the female deposits an egg inside the aphid. When the egg hatches, the larva consumes the aphid from within, ultimately killing it and transforming it into a dark mummy. A new adult wasp emerges from a small exit hole in the mummy. Each female parasitizes 5–10 aphids daily, totaling up to 250 during her lifetime. The presence of these wasps can also trigger a panic response in aphids, causing them to drop from the plant.
Key Features:
- Parasitic wasp effective against large aphid species
- Endoparasitoid with slower population build-up but longer lifespan than other parasitoids
- Adults also feed directly on aphids
- More heat-resistant and less vulnerable to hyperparasitism
- Short search range
