Description
Amblyseius cucumeris provides an economical and compact form of biological pest control for thrips and other soft-bodies pests in vegetables and ornamentals. This product contains 50,000 predatory mites that are placed in each treatment tube. It is specifically designed for localized treatment or smaller growing environments where precise pest control is warranted.
The bran-vermiculite blend acts as a carrier matrix to support distribution of the mites onto foliage or into crop zones. Amblyseius cucumeris mites are well-known for their biological control of thrips because they predate on the larvae stg., thwarting these pests from maturing and damaging crops. This formulation is best suited for use in greenhouses, indoor farms, in propagation chambers or small fields.
Predator Behavior and Target Pests
AMBLYLINE - bran-vermiculite - Tube - 50000 Individuals
Amblyseius cucumeris is designed to mitigate common soft-bodied pests that damage young plants, seedlings, and flowering crops. The mites show aggressive predatory behavior towards:
Western flower thrips (Frankliniella occidentalis) Onion thrips (Thrips tabaci) Other similar early-stage arthropod pests
These mites track scent and movement of thrips larvae to molt, and actively feed on them prior to reaching adult stages. This preemptive predation is crucial for computer pest life cycles and reduce the risk of widespread infestation.
Uses and Purposes
