Aphid Control © Frances Michaels
Aphids syn. greenfly are sucking insects that have a large number of natural enemies including lacewings, hoverflies, ladybeetles and parasitic wasps. They tend to be a problem where the use of pesticides is wiping out the natural enemies or at times of the year when natural enemies are not present in large numbers.
Suggested Organic Strategies
Suggested Products:
Eco-Oil
Horticultural Glues
Natrasoap
Amgrow Tomato and Vegetable Dust
Pyrethrum
Yellow Sticky Card Trap

Suggested Organic Strategies
- Avoid high nitrogen fertilisers as high nitrogen levels stimulate aphid reproduction
- Leave a few aphid-infested older plants such as broccoli in place. This will allow beneficial insects such as the tiny wasps that parasitise aphids to complete their lifecycle. Encourage a year-round supply of flowering plants attractive to beneficial insects by planting a Good Bug Mix
- Use horticultural glues to keep ants that farm aphids out of your citrus trees. This will make it a lot easier for the predators to pick the aphids off.
- Hang yellow sticky card traps above susceptible plants to catch the first generation of winged aphids flying in.
