Description
Californiline - Vermiculite - Container - 4000 Individuals is a fully biological pest control solution containing the predatory mite Amblyseius californicus. This generalist predator of the two spotted spider mite (Tetraychus urticae) and the carmine mite (Tetranychus cinnabarinus) is renowned for herself managing common spider mite species. This format is provided in bottles containing vermiculite packed with mites and allows for efficient distribution over vast agricultural lands with localized infesting crops.
Targeted pests and predatory behavior
Primary focus on spider mite suppression
Predatory A. californicus Derived from the bottle are vermiculite mites that feed actively onto:
Tetranychus urticae, the two-spotted spider mites.
Tetranychus cinnaberinus, carmine mites.
These active prey are well-known for their extensive damaging in crops within the Tetranychidae family and undergo significant loss outdoor or greenhouse crops. The growth period of A. californicus is dependent upon temperature. At 21°C (69.8°F) it takes about 10 days to develop and accelerates to just 5 days at 30°C (86°F) aligning with the reproductive cycles of the pest species. This synchronization serves the predators best for full control right when they need it most.
A. californicus continues to survive even when spider mite populations drop and has been classified as having a generalist predatory diet. This mite species is unique since it can feed itself on small arthropods or spider mite pollen, helping it persist, and maintain intermittent protective services.
Easy to Use Loose Form in Vermiculite
In a bottle, the mites can be precisely applicated through flexible usage.
That convenience allows them to rest in locations designed for optimal and precise delivery.
Best for free range distribution
Suitable for Spiders Mite Hot Spots
Can be preventive or restorative in application
These advantages “mist” makes theformat ideal for free ranging crops with conservations needs.
Environmental Adaptability and Hardiness
Being a frequently softy pinpoint A. californicus are adaptable this allows Withstand fluctuating temperatures ranging from:
13°C to 35°C (54°F to 95°F)
Effective in lower humidity conditions
Surviving temporary reductions in pest presence
The ranges of these metrics uniquely allow them to perform in great usable parameters needed for most greenhouses, indoor facilities, or variable heated regions.
Application Guidelines
Steps for Optimal Mite Distribution
To optimize the distribution of Californiline - Vermiculite - Bottle - 4000 Individuals, please follow these steps:
To ensure the best results, gently rotate the mite carrier bottle before use.
Open the lid directly above the crop.
Sprinkle the entire contents above the plant, prioritizing specific areas of infestation or potential hot spots.
Add greater amounts near visible colonies.
This approach guarantees uniform distribution of mites throughout the crop while enhancing their movement to the pests.
Storage and Handling Instructions
In order to maintain effectiveness and mite viability, these guidelines must be followed:
Position the bottle horizontally in a fridge set to 10-15° C (50-59°F).
Avoid direct sunlight or heat.
Relatively humidity must remain over 65% during transport and storage.
Apply within 18 hours of delivery for best results.
Always evenly pre-mix the carrier and exceed the prescribed time above to ensure mites are uniformly suspended throughout the carrier.
Final words
Californiline - Vermiculite - Bottle - 4000 Individuals provides an intelligent and easily scalable approach to spider mite control via natural predation. Pest control for both localized infestations and entire crops is made reliable with the user-friendly bottle format and vermiculite carrier. For proponents of integrated pest management and chemical-free crop protection, the product’s versatility across climate and pest cycles makes it a dependable choice.
