Aphidalia (Adalia bipunctata) PRE ORDER

Target Pests:

All species and stages of aphids.

Description:

Aphidalia contains predatory beetles (Adalia bipunctata), commonly known as two-spotted ladybirds. Adult beetles and their larvae actively hunt aphids, consuming them entirely. Females lay eggs within aphid colonies, and the emerging larvae continue feeding on aphids through their development.

Application:

Use at the first sign of aphid activity. Open the cotton bag and attach it to a tree near the first branch using a nail or wire stitch. Apply 1 bag per 25 cm of stem diameter, with a maximum of 3 bags per tree.

Start application as soon as aphids are detected. Adjust dosage based on climate and tree size. Consult a Koppert advisor or recognized distributor for tailored recommendations.
