AMBLYLINE
Amblyline contains the predatory mite Neoseiulus cucumeris
formerly known as and still often referred to as Amblyseius
cucumeris. This species has long been known to control the
larvae of thrips, making it one of the most recognized beneficial
insects. In addition to its use against thrips, it is widely used to
fight tarsonemids. With the ability to feed on pollen, it can be
established more easily in pollen rich crops. The use of breeding
sachets will facilitate its establishment for optimal preventative
use.
ANDERLINE
Anderline contains the predatory mite, Amblyseius andersoni.
This species feeds on a wide spectrum of plant feeding mites and
small insects, as well as pollen. This wide spectrum of activity
makes establishing A. andersoni easier than other species, as the
mites will establish themselves faster on crops that are abundant
in pollen, as an alternative source of food. It is an ideal species
for using in a preventative strategy against mites. They will take
longer to establish themselves on pollen-free crops, but sachets
can be used to release mites preventatively or where there is no
pollen.
CALIFORNILINE+
Californiline contains the generalist predatory mite, Amblyseius
californicus. This mite species feeds on a wide spectrum of
phytophagous mites and small insects, as well as pollen. It is also
more resistant to high temperatures, low humidity and certain
commonly used insecticides than some other species of mite
so can survive longer in crops under less favourable conditions.
These characteristics make it an excellent ally for preventative
pest control under difcult conditions.
CHRYSOLINE+
Chrysoline contains the the generalist aphid predator Chrysoperla
carnea, known as lacewings. The larvae are excellent predators
of aphids and other soft-bodied pest species. Adults look for
aphid colonies and then lay their eggs nearby. The hatching
larvae will remain close to feed on the aphids. This solution is
recommended for use on outbreaks, given their high predation
capacity: one larva can consume up to 200 aphids.
EXHIBITLINE SF
Exhibitline Sf contains the entomopathogenic nematode
Steinernema feltiae. This can sprayed on the ground or compost
to control fungus gnat larvae, shore fly larvae and thrips pupae.
When sprayed on leaves, Exhibitline Sf is used to control thrips
larvae and some leafminers.
