Description
STARSKII - 5LBag - 250000 Individuals - Amblyseius swirskii is a biological pest control solution for protective crops that is best used for immediate aggressive management of thrips and white flies. This loose 5 litter format containing 250,000 loose active Amblyseius swirskii is tailored for bulk use in greenhouses, indoor and semi-protected crops with early pest management needs. This predator consumes Warm humid crops and rapidly colonizes in them. It provides chemical free dirtier sicker greener cleaner control alternative to chemicals.
This product is designed for efficient commercial use and high-value crops with advanced defenses and seamless integration in IPM modules.
- Biological Control Aim
- Scan activity and target pests.
- Primary Target Pests
STARSKII - 5LBag - 250000 Individuals - Amblyseius swirskii is effective against
- Western Flower Thrips (Frankliniella occidentalis)
- Chili Thrips (Scirtothrips dorsalis)
- Onion Thrips (Thrips tabaci)
- Greenhouse Whitefly (Trialeurodes vaporariorum)
- Silverleaf Whitefly (Bemisia tabaci)
Through consumption of both whitefly eggs and larvae Amblyseius swirskii disrupts pests the development cycle silencing them before reproduction is done. This achieves reduction in pest population and enhances health of crops sustainably without long term chemical exposure.
Adaptability and Persistence
Amblyseius swirskii is able to survive periods without prey due to its ability to feed on pollen, allowing it to survive longer in the crop even when pest populations are low. This attribute proves why it is best suited for preventive use, maintaining population balance before pests emerge.
Loose Bag Format and Application Advantages
High Density Release
This 5-liter format contains 250,000 predatory mites, which means that:
Crop-wide estapblishment is rapid. Pest control over areas of the crop is immediate. Critical mite release during peak pest periods is possible.
The loose formulation is meant for direct application on leaves using mechanical spreaders, allowing easy control of application to the target area.
Clean and Practical
No mixing or preparation is needed. Uniform distribution ensures consistent coverage, eliminating hotspots. Best practice for large commercial greenhouses and oversized controlled environment farms.
This bulk format works well for the control of acute widespread outbreaks or for establishing treatment thresholds early in the season.
Perfect Performance Conditions
Geographic Region Compatibility
- Works Best at: Productivity peaks at both 68°F (20°C) and above.
- Humidity: Moderately high relative humidity aids in reproduction and active feeding.
- Preferred Crops: Ornamentals, especially those with high pollen production, and fruits such as pepper, cucumber, and eggplant.
Pollen presence greatly aids in establishment and reproduction acceleration. For crops that lack pollen, slow-release sachets or supplemental pollen can improve productivity.
Application Timing and Best Practices
Treatment Instructions
- To prevent or at the minimum, early sighting/app detection, apply.
- Distribute evenly across the crop using appropriate applicators and meters.
- Morning or late afternoon is recommended to avoid heat and intense sunlight.
- Avoid non-target surfaces like wet leaves and post irrigation overheads.
- This high-volume pack can be used together with the sachet systems to give the harvesters control over the seasons.
Compatibility and IPM Integration
STARSKII - 250000 Individuals - Amblyseius swirskii has the ability to easily integrate into IPM strategies. It can be used with other biological control agents and most soft pesticides. The completely pesticide-free, non-toxic residue-free nature of Amblyseius swirskii make it ideal for marking organic produce and meeting sustainable farming standards.
Make use of this product alongside other biocontrol tools or individually, and remaining under chemical control will still maintain effective large-scale coverage.
Final Words
To achieve optimum results with STARSKII - 5Lbag - 250000 Individuals - Amblyseius swirskii:
- Implement prevention methods or at the onset of pest signs for greater efficacy
- Ensure temperature and humidity are at optimal levels to increase activity
- Mix in other release techniques for extended duration coverage if required
- Supervise pest population and environmental conditions frequently
- Depend on this high-density solution when servicing large regions or commercial operations
This product bolsters crop production by offering sustainable, defensive support against whiteflies and thrips, while guaranteeing no toxic chemical residue.
