Bugline Duo

Modern pest control strategies in horticulture require efficiency, precision, and adaptability to diverse pest pressures. Bugline Duo delivers all three with a first-of-its-kind integrated release system that combines two complementary species of predatory mites in a single, pre-dosed, easy-to-install format. Developed for maximum efficacy and minimal labor, this innovative solution supports growers in streamlining biological pest control without compromising performance.

Ideal for use across a wide range of crops, Bugline Duo targets multiple pest types such as thrips, spider mites, tarsonemids, whiteflies, and russet mites. Its dual-species design and pre-calibrated sachet system reduce the need for multiple applications and advanced training, while offering uniform distribution and compatibility with overhead irrigation.

Dual Mite Technology

DUO: Two Predatory Mites, One Powerful Solution

At the core of Bugline Duo is a unique combination of two predatory mite species, each chosen for their complementary pest control profiles. Together, they expand the target range and increase biological control success in varied environmental conditions.

• One species may thrive in cooler, humid environments while the other remains active in higher temperatures.

• Some mites specialize in controlling thrips or whiteflies, while others are more efficient against spider mites and russet mites.

• The alternating sachets ensure an even and consistent spread of both species along the crop.

This versatility makes Bugline Duo highly adaptable and effective across multiple crop types and climate scenarios.

The Strip-Based Delivery Advantage

BUGLINE: Precision in Every Installation

The strip-based format of Bugline Duo introduces a significant leap in convenience. Each product comes in the form of a series of joined sachets that release the predatory mites gradually and evenly. This eliminates manual dosage errors and ensures thorough coverage.

• The sachets are distributed at exact intervals, guaranteeing uniform predator release.

• Each sachet includes exit holes on the underside to accommodate release even with overhead irrigation systems.

• The paper material is water-resistant, ensuring durability in real-world greenhouse or field conditions.

Installing the product is as simple as unrolling the strip along the crop rows, which takes half the time compared to traditional methods.

CRS Technology for Extended Protection

CRS Sachets: Mini Breeding Hubs

Every sachet in Bugline Duo uses CRS (Controlled Release System) technology. This turns each sachet into a self-sustaining micro-breeding environment:

• The internal composition supports ongoing development of predatory mites.

• Mites emerge gradually over time, providing extended protection beyond initial release.

• This slow and steady release ensures long-term pest suppression, reducing the need for reapplication.

Versatile Use Across Crops and Pests

Bugline Duo is engineered for a wide range of crop systems and pest challenges. It is suitable for:

• Cucumbers, strawberries, melons, courgettes, and aubergines

• Cut flowers and ornamental plants

• Tunnel-grown and greenhouse crops

Target pests include:

• Thrips

• Red spider mites

• Tarsonemidae

• Whiteflies

• Russet mites

Growers are advised to consult with their crop protection specialist for specific combinations and applications suited to their cultivation context.

Fast Setup and Flexible Delivery

Each box of Bugline Duo includes six strips, with customizable lengths and mite species combinations available upon request. Growers can also opt for the GEMINI DUO format for alternative delivery preferences.

The system is mechanisable, meaning the strip can be mounted on automated sprayers inside tunnel structures—saving time and reducing labor. Removing the strips after the control period is equally quick and leaves no residue or waste material on the crop.

Final Words

Bugline Duo brings a new level of simplicity and precision to biological pest control. With dual predatory mite species working in tandem, the pre-dosed strip system ensures optimal pest coverage while cutting installation time in half. Whether you're dealing with thrips, spider mites, or other soft-bodied pests, this dual-action system delivers consistent results without the guesswork. For growers seeking an efficient, scalable, and residue-free pest control solution, Bugline Duo is a reliable ally in integrated crop protection programs.
