Detects and parasitises newly forming aphid hotspots

• Targets large aphid species – including potato aphid Macrosiphum euphorbiae and the foxglove aphid Aulacorthum solani
• Highly efficacious – single female wasp can parasitise hundreds of aphid adults/nymphs
• Excellent search behaviour - Aphidius ervi detects and parasitises newly forming aphid hotspots
• Highly efficient - can distinguish parasitised from non-parasitized aphids
• Fast population build up - Ervi population develops and spreads quickly through the crop
• Adapted to low temperatures
