S*x sells. Even in biological control. 😏

Successful aphid control with 𝘈𝘱𝘩𝘪𝘥𝘰𝘭𝘦𝘵𝘦𝘴 𝘢𝘱𝘩𝘪𝘥𝘪𝘮𝘺𝘻𝘢 starts with successful mating.

Research shows that mating behaviour plays a crucial role in population establishment. Without mating, females do not oviposit and aphid control fails.

🧑🏼‍🔬 Van Lenteren & Schettino (2003) demonstrated that 𝘈𝘱𝘩𝘪𝘥𝘰𝘭𝘦𝘵𝘦𝘴 adults rely on suitable mating sites for reproductive success.

👩🏼‍🔬 Fratoni et al. (2019) showed how adult nutrition and environmental conditions strongly influence reproductive capacity and population build-up.

That is why the new Aphidoletes-System packaging is designed to support optimal emergence and mating conditions inside the box, including:

• a stable humid microclimate supporting adult emergence
• dark sheltered spaces that function as mating sites

Science-backed design. Stronger aphid control. 💪🏼

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗲𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗿 𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀 #𝗲𝗽𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗱𝗲9 🫑 Pepper crops are now in full flowering, providing a continuous source of pollen-rich flowers. 🌼

This creates ideal conditions for beneficials. At this stage, you should start to find Orius-System nymphs feeding inside the flowers.

Take the time to check flowers across the crop. The presence of nymphs is a strong indicator that your biological control is well established and actively contributing to thrips suppression.

Did you know that adult 𝘈𝘱𝘩𝘪𝘥𝘰𝘭𝘦𝘵𝘦𝘴 𝘢𝘱𝘩𝘪𝘥𝘪𝘮𝘺𝘻𝘢 rely on sugar for survival and reproduction? 🧐

Research (Fratoni et al., 2019, 𝘉𝘪𝘰𝘭𝘰𝘨𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘭 𝘊𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘳𝘰𝘭) shows that access to suitable sugar solutions can:

• Increase longevity up to 3 - 4x
• Double the number of mature oocytes
• Boost egg laying up to 5× within 72 hours

Without adequate sugars, females live only a few days and lay significantly fewer eggs.

That is exactly why the new Aphidoletes-System packaging includes a built-in sugar strip: immediate energy to support flight and reproduction. 😍

Science-based design. Stronger establishment. Improved aphid control.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗲𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗿 𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀 #𝗲𝗽𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗱𝗲8 🫑 Aphid colonies can expand rapidly at this stage of the season.

Focus on early hotspots and act quickly before they spread through the crop. Targeted introductions of Micromus-System can help bring these local infestations under control.

Acting early at hotspot level prevents larger population build-up later on.
