Chemical control of the cotton aphid
You can control cotton aphids (aphis gossypii)by biological and chemical methods. Options for natural enemies include parasitic wasps, gall midges, hover flies, ladybugs and lacewing larvae. Effective chemical plant protection products are broad acting insecticides such as Azatin, Batavia, Closer and Teppeki. Another alternative is Requiem Prime, which can be used in vegetable- and ornamental crop cultivations.
Not all substances can be used in combination with the natural enemies. For information about side effects refer to the Agrobío Effects App.
In order to reduce or prevent cotton aphid damage in the crop, additional hygiene measures can also be taken. You can also choose to fit insect netting to the air vents.
