I. Introduction: The Unseen Threat – Aphids in Greenhouse Floral Crops
Greenhouses, with their carefully regulated environments, offer an ideal setting for the cultivation of vibrant spring flowers, which are essential for both aesthetic enjoyment and economic activity. These enclosed spaces, however, can inadvertently create favorable conditions for certain pests, including aphids (Hemiptera: Aphididae). The stable temperatures and humidity, coupled with the exclusion of many natural predators and parasitoids that would typically regulate insect populations outdoors, can lead to rapid increases in aphid numbers 1. Aphids are small, soft-bodied insects that feed by piercing plant tissues and sucking out the nutrient-rich sap. Their ability to reproduce quickly, often without mating in greenhouse environments where only females that give birth to live young are present, allows them to establish large colonies in a short period, posing a significant and ongoing threat to the health and productivity of greenhouse floral crops 4.
The consequences of unchecked aphid infestations in greenhouse floral crops can be substantial. As aphids feed on plant sap, they directly weaken the plants, hindering their growth and development. This can result in stunted plants, deformed leaves and flowers, and a significant reduction in the overall quality and marketability of the floral crops 4. Furthermore, aphids excrete a sticky, sugary substance known as honeydew. This honeydew not only makes the plants unsightly and sticky to the touch but also provides an ideal medium for the growth of sooty mold fungi 4. Sooty mold appears as a dark, powdery coating on the plant surfaces, which can block sunlight and significantly reduce the plant’s ability to photosynthesize, further weakening the plant and diminishing its aesthetic appeal, a critical factor for ornamental flowers. In addition to the direct damage caused by feeding and the indirect damage from honeydew and sooty mold, certain aphid species can also act as vectors for plant viruses 8. These viruses can be transmitted from infected plants to healthy ones during the aphids’ feeding process, potentially leading to widespread disease outbreaks within the greenhouse and causing significant crop losses. The multifaceted damage caused by aphids, therefore, underscores the importance of effective pest management strategies in greenhouse floral crop production.
Traditionally, the control of aphid infestations in greenhouses has often relied heavily on the application of chemical pesticides. While these chemicals can provide rapid knockdown of aphid populations, their overuse can lead to several significant problems. One of the most concerning is the development of insecticide resistance in aphid populations 4. Due to their short generation times and high reproductive rates, aphids can quickly evolve resistance to commonly used pesticides, requiring growers to apply increasingly higher concentrations or more frequent applications, which can further exacerbate other issues. Chemical residues on floral crops can also have detrimental effects on the environment 3. These residues can potentially harm beneficial non-target insects, including pollinators that may visit the flowers, and can also contaminate soil and water resources. Moreover, there are growing concerns about the potential risks to human health associated with exposure to pesticide residues through handling the plants or through environmental contamination. Coupled with these concerns is the increasing consumer demand for agricultural products, including ornamental plants, that are produced in an environmentally friendly and sustainable manner 3. This consumer preference is driving the need for growers to explore and adopt alternative pest management strategies that minimize or eliminate the use of synthetic chemical pesticides. The limitations and potential negative consequences associated with a sole reliance on chemical pesticides highlight the critical importance of investigating and implementing biological control methods as a more sustainable and environmentally responsible approach to managing aphid pests in greenhouse floral crops.
II. Biological Control: Nature’s Way of Balancing the Ecosystem
Biological control represents a pest management strategy that harnesses the power of nature to regulate pest populations. It involves the use of natural enemies – organisms that prey on, parasitize, or otherwise reduce the numbers of pest organisms – to suppress pest populations below levels that cause significant damage 3. This approach seeks to restore or enhance the natural ecological balance within an ecosystem, allowing natural interactions between organisms to keep pest populations in check without the harmful side effects often associated with chemical interventions on the environment or non-target organisms 2. By mimicking the natural processes that occur in healthy ecosystems, biological control offers a more sustainable and environmentally sound way to manage pests in agricultural and horticultural settings.
Among the diverse array of natural enemies that can be employed in biological control, parasitoids are particularly effective in controlling aphid populations in greenhouse environments. Parasitoids are insects that have a unique and often lethal relationship with their host insects. The adult female parasitoid lays her eggs inside or on the body of a host insect, in this case, an aphid 5. Once the egg hatches, the parasitoid larva develops within the host, feeding on its internal tissues and fluids. This internal feeding continues through the larval stages, eventually leading to the death of the host insect as the parasitoid larva matures and prepares to pupate 5. The intimate and ultimately fatal connection between parasitoids and their hosts makes them highly effective natural regulators of pest populations. Various species of parasitoid wasps have evolved to specifically target aphids, exhibiting remarkable abilities to locate and parasitize these sap-sucking pests. Their host-specific nature often means they primarily target the pest species without posing a significant threat to beneficial insects or other organisms within the greenhouse ecosystem 4. The life cycle and host-killing behavior of parasitoid wasps make them valuable allies for greenhouse growers seeking to manage aphid infestations in a more targeted and sustainable manner than broad-spectrum chemical pesticides can offer.
III. Aphidius colemani: A Tiny Wasp with a Mighty Purpose
Aphidius colemani (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) is a small but highly effective parasitic wasp, typically measuring only 2 to 3 millimeters in length 12. These wasps are dark-colored and, importantly for those working in greenhouses, they do not possess a stinger, rendering them harmless to humans 12. Native to North America, Aphidius colemani has gained global recognition as a valuable natural enemy of several common aphid species that frequently infest greenhouse crops 13. Its effectiveness and relatively easy use have made it a commercially available biological control agent, widely accessible to greenhouse growers seeking sustainable pest management solutions 2.
The life cycle of Aphidius colemani is intricately linked to its aphid hosts. Adult female wasps exhibit a sophisticated searching behavior, utilizing their antennae to detect specific chemical cues emitted by aphid-infested plants and the honeydew produced by aphids 12. This allows them to locate aphid colonies even when the pest population density is low. Once a suitable aphid is found, the female wasp carefully examines it, using her antennae to determine if it belongs to a susceptible species and if it has already been parasitized 15. Aphidius colemani primarily targets the green peach aphid (Myzus persicae) and the cotton/melon aphid (Aphis gossypii), but it is also known to attack other aphid species such as the tobacco aphid (Myzus nicotianae) and the bird cherry-oat aphid (Rhopalosiphum padi) 12. If the aphid is deemed suitable, the female wasp will quickly insert her ovipositor into the aphid’s body and deposit a single egg inside 11. The egg hatches within a few days, and the larva begins to feed internally on the aphid’s hemolymph and other tissues, a process that ultimately leads to the death of the aphid host 11. As the larva matures, the parasitized aphid undergoes a visible transformation, becoming swollen and hardening into a leathery, tan, bronze, or golden-brown structure known as a “mummy” 6. This mummified aphid remains attached to the plant. Inside the mummy, the Aphidius colemani larva pupates, eventually developing into an adult wasp. The adult wasp then emerges from the mummy by chewing a characteristic round exit hole in the top 6. The entire life cycle, from egg to adult emergence, takes approximately 10 to 12 days under optimal greenhouse temperatures (around 21-25°C), with the duration being slightly longer at cooler temperatures 12. Adult Aphidius colemani wasps have a lifespan of about 2 to 3 weeks, during which time the females can parasitize a significant number of aphids, potentially up to 300, if they have access to water and a source of energy like nectar or honeydew 12.
Aphidius colemani is recognized as an exceptionally effective searcher, capable of locating even small or newly established aphid colonies within the greenhouse environment 14. This makes them particularly valuable for preventative pest management strategies, where the goal is to keep aphid populations from building up to damaging levels. These parasitoids are known to attack both adult and juvenile stages (nymphs) of susceptible aphid species, contributing to a more comprehensive control of the pest population 12. While highly effective against their preferred host species, it is important to note that Aphidius colemani might not provide adequate control when aphid populations are already very high 14. In such situations, integrating them with other biological control agents, such as predatory insects like lacewings or ladybugs, might be necessary for more rapid suppression. The effectiveness of Aphidius colemani is also influenced by environmental factors, with optimal activity observed at temperatures between 20 and 25°C (68 and 77°F) and relative humidity levels between 60 and 80% 12. Their efficacy can be reduced at temperatures above 30°C (86°F). Understanding and maintaining appropriate environmental conditions within the greenhouse can significantly enhance the performance of Aphidius colemani as a biological control agent.
IV. The Banker Plant System: A Sustainable Approach to Biological Control
The banker plant system represents an innovative and sustainable strategy for implementing biological control within greenhouse environments 2. It involves establishing small, self-contained populations of beneficial insects directly within the crop area 16. This is achieved by introducing a non-pest insect species onto a non-crop plant, which then serves as a continuous source of food and a habitat for the beneficial natural enemy. The natural enemy, in turn, will then disperse from the banker plants to control the target pest on the main crop 10. For the specific purpose of controlling aphids using Aphidius colemani in greenhouse spring floral crops, the most common banker plant system utilizes cereal plants, such as barley, wheat, or oats, that are deliberately infested with the bird cherry-oat aphid (Rhopalosiphum padi) 1.
The bird cherry-oat aphid (Rhopalosiphum padi) plays a crucial role in this banker plant system due to its highly specific feeding habits 1. This aphid species is a monocot feeder, meaning it feeds exclusively on plants belonging to the grass family, including cereals like barley, wheat, and oats. Importantly, it does not infest the vast majority of common greenhouse floral crops, which are typically dicotyledonous plants. This strict dietary preference ensures that the Rhopalosiphum padi aphids remain confined to the banker plants and do not become pests of the valuable floral crop 1. By establishing a healthy colony of Rhopalosiphum padi on the cereal banker plants, growers provide a readily available alternative host for the parasitoid Aphidius colemani 1. The A. colemani wasps can then parasitize these non-pest aphids, allowing their population to build up and sustain itself within the greenhouse environment, even when the target pest aphid species (like green peach aphid or cotton aphid) are scarce on the floral crops. This ensures that when pest aphids do appear, there is already a population of parasitoids ready to attack them, providing a preventative approach to pest management 1.
Greenhouse growers initiate the banker plant system by introducing Aphidius colemani onto the cereal plants that are already infested with a thriving colony of bird cherry-oat aphids (Rhopalosiphum padi) 18. This introduction typically involves releasing either parasitized aphid mummies (from which adult A. colemani will emerge) or adult A. colemani wasps directly onto the banker plants. The Aphidius colemani wasps will then readily parasitize the Rhopalosiphum padi aphids on the banker plants, laying their eggs inside them and continuing their life cycle 17. This process leads to the formation of new A. colemani mummies on the banker plants, indicating successful reproduction of the beneficial parasitoid. As the population of Aphidius colemani on the banker plants increases, adult wasps will naturally disperse from these mini-rearing units and move out into the greenhouse environment, actively searching for and parasitizing the target pest aphids (such as green peach aphids and cotton aphids) that may be present on the spring floral crops 17. The banker plants essentially function as “mini-rearing systems” or “open rearing systems” for Aphidius colemani within the greenhouse 18. They provide a continuous and localized source of these beneficial parasitoids, ensuring a sustained level of aphid control throughout the growing season without the need for frequent and potentially costly mass releases of commercially purchased parasitoids.
V. Setting Up and Maintaining a Thriving Banker Plant System
When establishing an Aphidius colemani banker plant system, the selection of appropriate cereal plants is crucial. Commonly used grain seeds include winter barley (Hordeum vulgare), winter wheat (Triticum aestivum), and oats (Avena sativa) 17. Among these, winter wheat is often preferred because its wider leaf blades can support a larger population of bird cherry-oat aphids (Rhopalosiphum padi), potentially leading to greater Aphidius colemani production. Barley has also shown good results 16. It is also advisable to select a mildew-resistant variety of the chosen grain to prevent plant diseases that could compromise the system 1. To initiate the system, growers need to obtain a starter population of bird cherry-oat aphids (Rhopalosiphum padi) from a reputable biological control supplier, typically shipped on pre-infested grain plants 18.
The optimal time to start producing banker plants is approximately 6 weeks before the anticipated planting of the spring floral crops in the greenhouse, allowing sufficient time for the Rhopalosiphum padi population to build up 16. Begin by filling small plant pots (e.g., 6-10 inch diameter) with moist potting soil, using at least two banker plants per acre initially, with one more added weekly for the first few weeks 3. Scatter about half a cup of grain seed evenly over the soil surface in each pot. Once the seedlings reach 15-20 cm in height (typically within 1-2 weeks), infest them with the bird cherry-oat aphids by placing infested grass blades or starter plants onto the new seedlings 3. Immediately cover each pot with a fine mesh hairnet or place them inside a screened cage to prevent premature parasitism of the Rhopalosiphum padi by Aphidius colemani, allowing the aphid population to establish first 16. Approximately one to two weeks after infestation, when a visible aphid colony has formed, introduce about 100 Aphidius colemani wasp mummies into each pot by carefully lifting the edge of the hairnet or opening the cage. Ordering weekly shipments of A. colemani for the first 3-4 weeks is recommended 3. To ensure a continuous supply, start new banker plants weekly for the first 5-6 weeks, repeating the seeding and infestation process 16. After 3-4 weeks, when A. colemani mummies are visible on the older plants, remove the covers to allow the adult wasps to disperse into the greenhouse 17.
Ongoing maintenance is crucial for a thriving banker plant system. Banker plants require consistent watering and may need fertilization 18. Periodically transfer bird cherry-oat aphids from older to newer plants to maintain a healthy aphid colony 18. Regularly inspect for A. colemani mummies and monitor for hyperparasites (indicated by jagged exit holes), destroying affected plants if necessary 3. Replace banker plants every 8-10 weeks as they decline, allowing dead plants to remain for a week to ensure all A. colemani emerge 2. At the end of the growing season, destroy all remaining banker plants 17.
VI. What the Research Reveals: Greenhouse Trials and Their Findings
Numerous trials have been conducted in university and commercial greenhouses to assess the effectiveness of Aphidius colemani banker plants for controlling aphids on spring floral crops 18. These studies often compare aphid populations and plant health in greenhouses with and without banker plants, utilizing sentinel plants infested with specific aphid species to quantify the level of biological control 18.
Research has shown that Aphidius colemani banker plants can effectively suppress populations of the cotton aphid (Aphis gossypii) on Marguerite daisies (Argyranthemum hybrid) in university trials 18. However, the control of the green peach aphid (Myzus persicae) on pansies (Viola tricolor hortensis) has been less consistent, with commercial greenhouse trials indicating a failure of banker plants to adequately control this aphid species 18. Interestingly, a study comparing banker plants to direct parasitoid releases found banker plants more effective against Myzus persicae on arugula (a short-term crop) but not on sweet pepper (a long-term crop) 8. The presence of multiple aphid species in the same greenhouse did not significantly alter the effectiveness of the A. colemani banker plants in some trials 18.
Several factors can influence the efficacy of Aphidius colemani banker plants. High greenhouse temperatures (above 28°C) favor aphid reproduction and are less optimal for A. colemani activity 18. Residues of common insecticides like pyriproxyfen and pymetrozine can reduce the survival of adult A. colemani 18. High rates of hyperparasitism on the banker plants can significantly reduce the beneficial A. colemani population 21. Plant characteristics like dense trichomes or waxy leaf surfaces can sometimes hinder A. colemani‘s foraging efficiency 22. The quality of the bird cherry-oat aphid as a host can also affect the fitness of A. colemani, though a less optimal host might paradoxically encourage dispersal to pest aphids 23.
VII. Advantages and Considerations of Using Banker Plant Systems
Aphidius colemani banker plant systems offer several notable benefits for greenhouse growers 2. They provide preventative pest control by establishing a continuous source of parasitoids 2. Over time, they can be cost-effective by reducing the need for repeated parasitoid purchases 3. This method also reduces reliance on chemical pesticides, minimizing risks to the environment and non-target organisms 2. Banker plants are a key component of sustainable IPM strategies 2. Parasitoids reared in-house may exhibit improved foraging responses 10 and potentially a higher female ratio 10. Implementation is generally user-friendly 3, and there are no harmful residues or re-entry intervals 3. Growers can also gain a marketing advantage by promoting their environmentally friendly pest control practices 3.
However, there are also considerations and limitations 16. Banker plants are primarily preventative and may not control established high aphid populations quickly 16. They require consistent maintenance, including watering and fertilization 18. They occupy greenhouse space 2. Hyperparasitism can undermine their effectiveness 17. Aphidius colemani has specific target aphids, so it may not control all species 10. They are not suitable for greenhouses with a high percentage of monocot crops due to the risk of Rhopalosiphum padi becoming a pest 3. High temperatures can reduce A. colemani‘s efficacy 18. Banker plants and their inhabitants are susceptible to many pesticides 3. There is an initial setup time required for the system to become fully effective 17.
VIII. Integrating Banker Plants into a Comprehensive IPM Plan
Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is a holistic approach to pest control that combines various strategies to minimize pest damage while reducing risks to human health and the environment 3. IPM emphasizes monitoring, cultural and physical controls, and biological control methods as primary means of pest suppression, with chemical pesticides used only as a last resort 6. Banker plants are a valuable tool within this broader framework.
Key IPM practices that complement banker plants include regular monitoring of crops and banker plants for aphids and parasitoid activity 3. Maintaining good greenhouse sanitation by removing weeds and inspecting incoming plants helps prevent pest introductions 6. Physical controls like screens on vents can exclude winged aphids 7. Avoiding excessive nitrogen fertilization can reduce plant susceptibility to aphids 5. Augmentative releases of other biological control agents may be necessary for high aphid populations or non-target aphid species 4. If chemical intervention is required, selective pesticides that are less harmful to beneficial insects should be chosen and applied judiciously, avoiding direct spraying of banker plants 3.
IX. Conclusion: Cultivating a Balance – The Future of Aphid Control in Greenhouses
Aphidius colemani banker plant systems offer a sustainable and promising approach to controlling key aphid pests in greenhouse spring floral crops. Research indicates varying effectiveness depending on the specific aphid-crop combination and environmental factors. Successful implementation requires careful setup, consistent maintenance, and consideration of factors influencing efficacy. As concerns about chemical pesticide impacts grow, biological control methods like banker plants are increasingly important for sustainable horticulture. Ongoing research aims to optimize these systems and expand their application to other pests. By integrating banker plants into comprehensive IPM plans, greenhouse growers can cultivate healthy floral crops while minimizing their environmental footprint.
