Description
STARSKII - Blister pack / 5 mini blister of 400 ind. - 2000 Individuals - Amblyseius swirskii is an extremely effective, compact, and clean solution for controlling the main soft-bodied pests in crop protection environments. Each blister pack contains five mini blisters, each containing 400 predatory mites, providing a total of 2,000 live Amblyseius swirskii. This format is most suitable for precision applications in ornamentals and vegetables, as well as for indoor grow systems where spot biocontrols and treatments are required.
This format allows ease of use with controlled release and minimal disturbance, thus making it an ideal solution for growers who need immediate and precise pest control in high-value crop areas.
Pest Targets and Predatory Functions
Core Pest Targets
STARSKII - Blister pack / 5 mini blister of 400 ind. - 2000 Individuals - Amblyseius swirskii specifically helps to fight against:
Western Flower Thrips (Frankliniella occidentalis) Onion Thrips (Thrips tabaci) Chili Thrips (Scirtothrips dorsalis) Greenhouse Whitefly (Trialeurodes vaporariorum) Silverleaf Whitefly (Bemisia tabaci)
These pests are very harmful as they attack and damage the flowers, leaves, and fruits of the plants while also transmitting viruses. Amblyseius swirskii is effective against early-stage reproductive stages like thrips larvae (L1) and whitefly eggs or young larvae to disrupt reproduction cycles.
Wider Use
Amblyseius swirskii goes beyond direct pest suppression by feeding on pollen, which helps it persist in the absence of prey. This permits the bio-control mite population to sustain themselves between pest waves, therefore reducing the requirement for repeat releases.
Advantages and Disadvantages of Mini Blister Format
Accurate Release
As localized release chambers, mini blisters serve as single deluxe release chambers. Mites naturally traverse the plant and exit the blister via pre-holes at a gradual flow. This feature enables excellent use for:
- Mite release accuracy in target pest infested areas.
- Supporting crops within small-sized containers.
- Mite release to places within the vertical, hanging, or dense canopy setting.
Simple and Easy to Use
- No pest handling with mites is needed.
- Direct fastening onto stems or nearby supportive structures is simple.
- Lessens wastage and secures release during mite passage.
- No handling disruption with crop growth spaces.
- The format minimizes wastage and simplifies various tasks, maintaining efficiency within controlled environments.
These mini blister formats ensure an accurate, effective method of biocontrol without the risk of counter-productive total releases within high-control systems.
Best Performed At 68°F or 20° C and Above
Temperature
- Moderate To High Humidity Supports Better Survival Rate
- Peppers Cucumbers Egg Plants Ornamentals and Pollen Producing Species
Pollen Rich Crops Help Quickly Establish Population. The Blister Format Provides A Constant Environment For Mite Eruptions Even With Small Changes In Conditions So It Is Optimal.
