Product description

Features:

Thrips are important greenhouse pests. They have a wide host range consisting of hundreds of plant species that includes all the major greenhouse vegetable crops and many commonly grown ornamentals. Thrips are very small in size (1-3 mm) and live cryptically such as in the flower bud, new leaves, or growing points of plants. This pest has readily developed resistance to pesticides and there are few or no effective pesticides to control them.

Amblyseius cucumeris and Orius Insidiosus are effective in controlling thrips.

AMBLYSEIUS CUCUMERIS:

Small (0.5 mm) cream coloured mite that feeds on western flower, broad and cyclamen mites.

This predator mite prefers to feed on first instar thrips larvae. They can sense the thrips emerging from the leaf tissue and wait to bite the heads off the emerging thrips. They can also eat second instar larvae.
