Issues 1-2: Key Target Pests and Control Efficacy

Oriline - Bottle - 2000 Individuals - Orius insidiosus is particularly effective against

• Adult and larval stage of Thrips
• Aphid
• Spider mites - small stages
• Whiteflies
• Moth eggs

The variety of prey that Orius insidiosus feeds upon ensures that the crops can be sustained even when many pest species are present. Because insidiosus is capable of utilizing pollen as food, it can sustain low densities of pests and establish long-term populations.  

The aggressive feeding on pests is visible within a few days and reduces a pest population which can help sustain sensitive crops such as strawberries, peppers, cucumbers, eggplants, and many ornamental flowers from aesthetic and yield loss.  

Application Methods and Deployment Strategy  

It is effortless to apply Oriline - Bottle - 2000 Individuals - Orius insidiosus. Ensure that the bottle is mixed by gently shaking prior to releasing to ensure even mixture of the prey and carrier material to maximize the distribution of the predators throughout all the plants.

• Recommended application rates:
• Preventive release: 0.5–2 individuals per m²
• Curative release: 5–10 individuals per m²

Hotspot treatment: Higher concentrations directly in infested areas

Ideal environmental conditions for optimal activity include temperatures of 20-30°C (68–85°F) and a relative humidity greater than 60%. For optimal results, releases should be made early in the morning and late in the day when temperatures are low.
