Californiline - 125000 Individuals - 5L Bag

Californiline - 125000 Individuals - 5L Bag is the first of its kind and includes Amblyseius californicus, one of the most reliable and adaptable predatory mite species, in a high capacity biological control product form. The format is specifically designed to suit large scale commercial operations. It achieves optimal predator density and is perfect for broadcast application over vast crop surfaces. This product form is best suited for controlling spider mite infestations, particularly Tetranychus urticae (two-spotted spider mite), and Tetranychus cinnabarinus (carmine mite) which wreak havoc on greenhouse and field grown crops.

Effective Predator for Major Mite Species Controls Spider Mites at All Life Stages

Amblyseius californicus specializes in the following pests:

• Two-spotted spider mite
• Carmine mite

This predator actively feeds on all mobile stages of these pests. At low levels of infestation as well as an outbreak situation, A. californicus is indispensable. Its development is also fast—approximately ten days at 21 degrees Celsius (69.8) and just five days at 30 degrees Celsius (86). The lifecycle of A. californicus is almost exactly the same as that of its prey which ensures it is able to rapidly respond and effectively suppress populations.

Unlike most other specialist predators, A. californicus can feed on pollen and other alternative prey in addition to spider mites. This lets A. californicus remain in crops between pest outbreaks, extending the protective window after release.

Specific to Broadcast Application

Effective Distribution in a 5L Loose Carrier Bag

Californiline - 125000 Individuals - 5L Bag is placed in a loose flowing carrier medium such as vermiculite or other compatible material that allows simple mechanical or manual spreading over large areas. This high-volume format is best suited for:

Greenhouse ranges,

High-density horticulture or floriculture operations,

Outdoor crop fields with high spider mite populations.

The bag contains 125,000 live mites, making it ideal for aggressive suppression or preventative coverage in vast crop spaces.

A. californicus is remarkably tolerant to many zones:

Functionality is between 13°C to 35°C (54°F to 95°F) temperature range,

Works well at low humidity conditions which may be a challenge for other species,

Handles fluctuating pest pressure remarkably well.

This makes it one of the most reliable biological control agents in rapidly changing greenhouse climates, outdoors in the shade, and on indoor farms.

Guidelines for Applications

Applying Efficiently

To achieve best results for Californiline - Mites/Californiline - 125000 Individuals - 5L Bag, please do the following:

To enhance mite distribution, rotate or shake the bag gently.

Applying onto the crop foliage is done by opening and applying the contents directly.

Do not forget to sprinkle the mixture around infestation areas and also on the lower and upper surfaces of the leaves.

Focus around plants which have mite prone varieties and hot spots.

This procedure can be used for mass application in combination with other beneficial insects as part of a holistic pest control strategy.

Instructions for Handling and Storage:

To optimize the health and activity of the mites:

Store the 5L bag at 10–15°C (50–59°F) with a relative humidity exceeding 65% at room temperature.

Avoid direct exposure to sunlight or heaters.

Use no later than 18 hours after delivery.

Mixing gently before opening to redistribute mites evenly should always be done.

Following these guidelines will ensure the mites maintain high levels of activity, viability and be ready for instant use.
