They are often mistaken for small flies due to their size and delicate appearance. Aphidius colemani is widely distributed and commonly used in biological pest control programs in agriculture and horticulture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSex ratio is 60-70% female. Each female can lay more than 300 eggs. The female adult will lay an egg directly into the aphid body where it hatches and the larvae will consume the aphid’s body from within. When A. colemani larvae mature, the host aphid transforms into a black mummy over 7 days. Subsequently, it takes another 14 days for the mummy to mature into an adult, which emerges through a hole at the mummy's rear. Expect to observe the first mummies in your crops at least 14 days after the initial release.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff8000;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"color: #ff8000;\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #3d6482;\"\u003eRELEASE LOCATIONS:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eIndoors and outdoors on a wide range of plants in greenhouses, vegetable crops, ornamental crops, soft fruits, tree nurseries, horticulture landscapes, and various other types of crops.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff8000;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"color: #ff8000;\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #3d6482;\"\u003eRELEASE RATES:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #3d6482;\"\u003ePREVENTATIVE RELEASE:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e1-2 wasps per square foot every 1-2 weeks.\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff8000;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"color: #ff8000;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #3d6482;\"\u003eCURATIVE RELEASE:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e5-10 wasps per square foot, weekly for at least 3 weeks.\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff8000;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"color: #ff8000;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eSprinkle contents onto leaves or into Hanging Release Boxes and hang on infested plants.
