Starskii - 500000 Individuals - 5Lbag

STARSKII - 5LBag - 500000 Individuals - Amblyseius swirskii is a ready-to-use biological control product designed for aggressive pest control in large areas of crops. This format contains 500,000 live predatory mites Amblyseius swirskii in a 5-liter bag which ensures rapid colonization and quick suppression of thrips and whiteflies in greenhouses as well as indoors and in semi-protected agricultural systems. This product is most appropriate for scale farmers, commercial greenhouses, and intensive horticulture producers where immediate control is needed across large areas.

Amblyseius swirskii thrives in warm humid conditions and has the added benefit of being able to survive on pollen, allowing it to persist in curative and preventive pest control programs.

Target pests and mode of action

Key pest targets

STARSKII - 5LBag - 500000 Individuals - Amblyseius swirskii is intended for the biological control of the following key pests:

• Western Flower Thrips (Frankliniella occidentalis)
• Chili Thrips (Scirtothrips dorsalis)
• Onion Thrips (Thrips tabaci)
• Greenhouse Whitefly (Trialeurodes vaporariorum)
• Silverleaf Whitefly (Bemisia tabaci)

This predatory mite is very active feeding on most tender stages of the pests which includes thrips of early instars (L1) and whitefly eggs or young larvae. By disrupting the cycle of development and stunting progress at early stages, it breaks the habit and minimizes destruction before significant damage may occur.

Survival and Persistence

Given the low pest density, Amblyseius swirskii sustains its population by feeding on pollen to stay active for future pest outbreaks. This natural flexiblility makes it ideal for preventive use in specific crops such as pepper and eggplant, which offer self-pollenating capabilities.

Loose Bag Format And Deployment Benefits

Maximum Mite Volume For Huge Areas

This high density 5 liter format delivers:

• 500,000 predatory mites for broad and even coverage
• Immediate release across large zones during critical pest windows
• High-efficiency protection in commercial and high-pressure environments

This format benefits growers which require large-scale application in a single pass or need it as a foundational treatment early in the crop cycle.

Application Simplicity

Shake-on application directly onto crop canopy.

• Suitable for manual application or mechanical mite blowers
• Uniform distribution facilitates effective colonization and population buildup

The loose carrier material enables these applications which ensures no undesired residue, keeping crop surfaces clean and free of harmful chemicals.

Environmental Conditions for Optimal Results

Best Use Parameters

Temperature Range: Optimal results above 68°F (20°C) Performance is best around 68°F (20°C) or higher

Humidity: Functions well in moderate to high humidity regions Humidity:Works well in moderate to high humid regions.

Crop Compatibility: Ideal for peppers, cucumbers, gerbera, eggplants, and other protected crops. Works well with: Peppers, cucumbers, gerbera, eggplants, and other protected crops.

The presence of pollen-laden plants supports establishment and reproduction. For pollinless crops, pairing with pollen substitutes or sachets may be used for more consistent mite development.

Strategic Application Guidelines

Strategic Application Restrictions

Application or dispensing Apply toward the beginning of the crop cycle or at the first sign of pest activity. Dispense during the beginning stages of crop cycle or at first signs of infestation.

Distribution Method

Apply to the crop area during moderate periods as to avoid peak periods of strong basking sunlight. During the application, avoid hot weather conditions along with wet leaves.

Monitor continuously until optimal findings are achieved and repeat for as long as desired.

Performance of this system is ideal whether it is used directly at applications or with slow-release sachets, giving season-long optimal levels of protection with respectful continuous predatory presence.
