Californiline -Vermiculite - 25000 Individuals - 1 Ltr Tube

Californiline - Vermiculite - 1 Ltr Tube - 25000 Individuals utilizes Amblyseius californicus, a multi-functional predatory mite, as a biological pest management agent. This product, formulated for large scale pest control, is specially designed to counter spider mites, targeting two of the most commercially destructive species in horticulture: Tetranychus urticae, the two-spotted spider mite, and Tetranychus cinnabarinus, the carmine mite. The primary aim of this formulation is to provide easy distribution and long-term effectiveness to control pest populations within horticultural nurseries and greenhouses. It is packed in a 1 liter tube which contains a vermiculite carrier and protective mite pour opening for easier inclusion into pest control strategies.

Target Pest Species and Predator Behavior

Natural Predation Spider Mite Suppression

Mobile life stages of the pests most susceptible to this formulation include:

Carmine mite

Two-spotted spider mite

These mites pose a significant danger to crops both in greenhouses and in open fields. Amblyseius californicus septic has been notably reported to prey on all mobile life stages of these pests. At a temperature of 21 degrees Celsius (69.8 Fahrenheit) Amblyseius californicus completes its development in about 10 days and, at a more optimal temperature of 30 degrees Celsius (86 Fahrenheit) the duration shrinks to a mere 5 days. These timelines are quite close to the duration of time it takes to capture its prey, allowing a predator to effectively control mite populations during crucial infestation phases.

A. californicus can still persist in the crop during the off season by feeding on small arthropods like pollen while extending protection without the need for immediate reapplication.

Product Distribution/ Tubing Format

Extended Volume & Even Distribution

The Californiline - Vermiculite -1 Ltr tube - 25,000 Individuals' format, which contains a readily available, ideal deliver system, is best suited for mass predator distribution. The mite holding container ensures protective gentle application without compromising moisture retention.

This tube format is optimal for:

• Large commercial producers
• Greenhouses, polyhouses, vertical farms
• Outdoor crops with pre-established pest populations

Remarkably, it offers mitigation of pest control application targeting oblique angles in upper canopy layers along with layered leaf structures.

Environmental Flexibility

Remarkably adaptable to varying climatic and pest pressure shift, A. californicus is Flexible making it appropriate for use all year round in sustem diversified agricultural practices.

Applying Californiline-Vermiculite-1 Ltr Tube – 25000 Individuals - Steps and Requirements

Application Guidelines:

To achieve the best results with Californiline-Vermiculite, it is advised to:

• Always store the tube horizontally, and gently shake it before opening.
• Open the tube directly over the crop or the affected areas.
• The mixture may be shaken onto the leaves conservatively along with the verrmicule, primary areas known to be infested with pests, as well as places nearby.
• Perform after some time, based on the environmental conditions around the crop, for as many times as needed.

Mites can establish and survive best when not placed directly on wet surfaces. Mite establishment is inhibited when plants are wet, and so those surfaces should not be directly targeted.

Best Practices for Handling and Storing:

To ensure effectiveness of the predatory mites, ensure that:

• Use during summer months-10 -15 C - 50 -59 deg is cool
• Must be stored in the shade and humid area
• Must be used within 18 hours after being delivered to guarantee that performance from the predator will be maximized.
• Must only be rotated before opening to mix and distribute the mites also inside the container.

The buffer vermiculite helps in aiding the mites whilst being stored or applied during the mixture of storage or application.

Final Words

Californiline - Vermiculite - 1 Ltr Tube - 25000 Individuals offers a strong, easily expandable option for growers seeking to control spider mite infections naturally and efficiently. With a high predator ratio and an easy-to-distribute carrier, this format in tubes serves a broad spectrum of growing systems from industrial agriculture to sustainable crop production. Its ability to perform under different environmental conditions guarantees reliable biological control without the need for chemical pesticides.
