Insect & Disease Control

Amblyseius californicus preys on mites in the Tetranychidae family, including the two-spotted mite (Tetranychus urticae) and the carmine mite (Tetranychus cinnabarinus). Its total development time at 69.8°F is nearly 10 days, which is reduced to five days at 86°F. These temperatures correspond to the developmental temperatures of their main prey, the two-spotted spider mite. 

The lifecycle of Tetranychus urticae is 16 and 7 days at these temperatures, respectively. Amblyseius californicus is active within the temperature range of 54-95°F.

Amblyseius californicus preys on mites from the Tetranychidae family, including the common two-spotted mite, Tetranychus urticae, and the carmine mite, Tetranychus cinnabarinus. Its total development time is nearly 10 days at 69.8°F, but this is reduced to five days at 86°F. These temperatures align with those at which its principal prey, the two-spotted spider mite, develops. The lifecycle of Tetranychus urticae is 16 and 7 days at these temperatures, respectively. Amblyseius californicus remains active within a temperature range of 54-95°F.

Amblyseius californicus is classified as a Type II generalist predatory mite known for its primary attack on spider mites. It also feeds on numerous other leaf-inhabiting mites, including microscopic species like broad mites, as well as other small insects and pollen. This species is tolerant of various temperatures and lower humidity levels but performs optimally in warm to hot conditions.

Spidex Boost presents a straightforward application method for growers, offering immediate results without the need for further generations to emerge over time. Once the sachet is opened, the predatory mites in Spidex Boost get straight to work. Originally designed for Cannabis cultivation, its exceptional effectiveness has led to its widespread application in various crops, including tomatoes.

Ideal for open crops or those with small leaves where it is important to prevent the carrier material from contacting the plant, Spidex Boost provides a reliable solution.

Phytoseiulus persimilis is a predatory mite that exclusively preys on two-spotted spider mite adults, nymphs, and eggs. Since spider mites are their sole food source, it's most effective to introduce Persimilis when spider mites are first detected, rather than as a preventive measure. Once they consume all available spider mites, they will disperse or perish due to starvation. Unlike some other mites, Persimilis do not enter diapause and can completely eradicate spider mite populations under favorable climate conditions.

The sachets, presented in a sturdy cardboard box, are filled with wood-chip carriers that house the predatory mites. These mites multiply within the sachet and gradually disperse into the crop over a period of several weeks. 

Once released, they actively seek out and feed on pest populations, targeting them by piercing their prey with their sucking mouthparts and extracting their contents. This mode of action effectively controls pest populations, reducing the need for chemical pesticides and promoting a healthier crop environment.

Benefits:

• Broad-spectrum control
• Multiple modes of action
• Harvest flexibility & worker friendly
• 0-day PHI, 4-hour REI, Minimal PPE, MRL Exempt

Amblyseius swimsuit is a predatory mite known for its effectiveness in controlling thrips, making it particularly suitable for warmer climates due to its Mediterranean origin. In addition to thrips, it preys on broad mites, russet mites, and whitefly eggs. The use of adult mites in 1-liter containers, combined with slow-release sachets, has shown optimal results. Grower feedback regarding its effectiveness against broad mites has been consistently positive.

Amblyseius swirskii, primarily known as a thrips predator, thrives in warmer climates, being native to the Mediterranean region. Apart from thrips, it preys on broad mites, russet mites, and whitefly eggs. Optimal results are achieved when adults in 1-liter containers are used alongside slow-release sachets. Grower feedback for controlling broad mites has been highly positive.

Amblyseius swirskii is recognized primarily as a thrips predator, well-suited for warmer climates due to its Mediterranean origin. Apart from thrips, it preys on broad mites, russet mites, and whitefly eggs. Optimal results are achieved when adults in 1-liter containers are used alongside slow-release sachets. Grower feedback for controlling broad mites has been particularly positive.

Tenet WP is a second-generation bio-fungicide designed to combat a broad spectrum of soil-borne and root rot diseases. This advanced formulation harnesses the power of two beneficial fungi species, Trichoderma asperellum and Trichoderma gamsii, making it highly effective against pathogens like Pythium, Phytophthora, Sclerotinia, Fusarium, and other related diseases. 

When applied to the soil, Tenet WP not only controls these harmful diseases but also enhances crops' overall health and productivity, ensuring robust and resilient plant growth.

Amblyseius cucumeris is a predatory mite known for its voracious appetite for thrips larvae. This beneficial mite species also targets broad mites and cyclamen mites, with some ability to control spider mites, although to a lesser extent. Its affordability and effectiveness make it a highly desirable choice for thrips control, particularly in operations where temperatures remain below 85°F.

Amblyseius cucumeris, a predatory mite, is an integral part of thrips control strategies due to its unique feeding habits and life cycle synchronization with pests.

The formulation of Amblyseius cucumeris is meticulously crafted to ensure a steady release of these predatory mites onto the crop each day. This strategic release pattern maximizes their impact on thrips populations.

With a total development time of 6-9 days at 75°F, the life cycle of Amblyseius cucumeris aligns well with that of Western Flower Thrips, ensuring effective control throughout the thrips' development stages.

Amblyseius cucumeris is known to prey on the larvae of various thrips species. Additionally, it targets broad mites, cyclamen mites, and to a lesser extent, spider mites. Due to their cost-effectiveness, they are a highly desirable choice for thrips control, particularly in environments where temperatures remain below 85°F.

Amblyseius cucumeris is a predatory mite known for its appetite for thrips larvae. It also consumes broad mites cyclamen mites, and to a lesser extent, spider mites. Its cost-effectiveness makes it a highly appealing option for thrips control, particularly in environments where temperatures remain below 85°F.

Usage Instructions:

• Apply in the cool morning or evening.
• Avoid application in bright sunlight.
• Open the bottle while keeping it horizontal to ensure the bugs stay well mixed in the carrier.
• Distribute the contents evenly onto leaves throughout the crop by gently shaking and rotating the bottle.

Trianum-P Biological Fungicide offers a range of application methods tailored to different crop needs and cultivation environments. These methods include soil applications through drenching, furrow spraying, potting soil incorporation, and broadcast spreading. 

Additionally, seed treatments are available, along with specific options for chemigation and irrigation in greenhouse settings. For detailed information on compatible crops, application methods, and rates, please refer to the Trianum-P Biological Fungicide label.

To ensure the effectiveness of Trianum-P, it is crucial not to use disinfectants in drip irrigation systems for at least one day before and up to two days after the application. This precaution helps maintain the viability and efficiency of the biological fungicide, ensuring optimal disease control in crops.
