Ichneumon wasp back in favor (PhysOrg)

Submitted by on February 26, 2010 – 8:51 pmNo Comment

Since then, it has given way to its American cousin, Aphidius colemani. A comparative study by Dutch Wageningen UR Greenhouse Horticulture group has led to its re-introduction by Koppert, the market leader in organic pest control.
