Description
Amblyseius cucumeris is an efficient and clean biological control agent for thrips larvae and soft-bodied pests. This special 5L pretreatment contains 250,000 live A. cucumeris mites suspended in vermiculite only. Bran has been removed to make this product ideal for hygienic and clean environments where substrate sterility is crucial. Thuis, this product minimizes the risk of fungal growth or unwanted microbial activity.
This product is excellent for indoor farms and sterile propagation areas, as well as hydroponics and clean cultivation systems. The mites are uniformly blended with vermiculite, which allows for even distribution across a wide variety of crops and fields. These mites are perfect for responsive and preemptive pest control.
Target Pests and Mode of Action
AMBLYLINE - 5L-vermiculite bag (Bran Free) - 250,000 individuals Amblyseius cucumeris is formulated specifically to target:
- Adult and immature Western Flower Thrips (Frankliniella occidentalis)
- Onion Thrips (Thrips tabaci)
- Other early stage soft-bodied pests in Greenhouses and Indoor Plant Growth Chambers
The predatory mites instructively hunt for and feed upon the larvae of thrips, preventing them from maturing into heavily infesting adults. This early-stage intervention strategy helps in pest control. These predatory mites do not feed upon any type of vegetation, which makes them safe to use in delicate or high-value crop contexts.
Application Method and Best Practices
Each 5L bag contains 250,000 mites, and they provide broad coverage for medium- and large-scale cultivation. The user-friendly application process is coupled with the bran-free vermiculite growing medium, which makes cleaning and maintaining a tidy growing area easier.
To use
Carefully distribute the vermiculite-mite mixture over the crop leaves, or introduce it into small release boxes throughout the canopy.
Recommended dosage: 100 to 250 mites per square meter depending on crop density and pest pressure.
Avoid application during direct sunlight and extreme heat.
Ideal environmental conditions: 20 to 25 degrees Celsius (68 to 77 degrees Fahrenheit) with over 60% humidity.
Vermiculite does not promote spoilage or contamination, and provides a non nutritive sterile medium while permitting natural dispersal of the mites.
