Aphytis by Koppert: Parasitic Wasps for Effective Control of Armoured Scale Insects

01 August 2025, New Delhi: Aphytis, developed by Koppert, contains the parasitic wasp Aphytis melinus, a highly specialized natural enemy for controlling armoured scale insects, particularly California red scale and oleander scale. These pests can cause significant damage to fruit trees and ornamental plants if left unmanaged.

Aphytis parasitizes the scale insects, reducing their populations naturally and preventing further crop damage. Its targeted action makes it a valuable tool for integrated pest management programs aiming to reduce chemical pesticide use.

Koppert’s Aphytis provides growers with an effective, eco-friendly solution to manage armoured scale infestations, promoting healthier crops and sustainable pest control.
