Amblyseius (=Neoseiulus) cucumeris, the thrips predatory mite, are useful for the prevention, control, and management of various thrips species. Like most of the Amblyseius spp., A. cucumeris are tough, flexible predators. These happen to prefer thrips, mostly the immature thrips stages. A. cucumeris are shipped as adults, immatures and eggs (the latter are not part of the guaranteed count) in a bran-flake/vermiculite carrier along with a food source, the mold mite (Tyrophagus putrescentiae). This mold mite is merely a sustainable food source for the predatory mites while they're in transit.

Some of the species they can devour include: the western flower thrips (Frankliniella occidentalis); the flower thrips or eastern flower thrips (F. tritici); the onion thrips (Thrips tabaci); the greenhouse thrips (Heliothrips haemorrhoidalis); and possibly the melon thrips (Thrips palmi), too. Other pests which can be impacted by these predators include cyclamen mites (Phtyodromus =Steneotarsonemus pallidus), broad mites (Polyphagotarsenomus =Hemitarsonemus latus) and, to a slight degree, tomato russet mite (Aculops lycopersici). And, as Amblyseius spp., these predators may eat other pests as well.

Orius insidiosus, also called the minute pirate bug, is an aggressive thrips predator - possibly the most effective. It attacks and kills all mobile stages of thrips, including adult thrips. Orius is a true bug, which means it has a long rostrum (feeding tube). It uses its rostrum to pierce its prey, and drain the contents, killing the pest.
A 'generalist' predator, Orius feeds on many pest species, such as mites, aphids and moth eggs for food. It will control thrips, and helps in the control of the other pest species.

Anderline biological control agent contains the predatory mite, Amblyseius andersoni. It is a predatory mite that feeds on many types of small arthropod prey and pollen. It is ideal for preventive protection of greenhouse or outdoor ornamentals, vegetables and fruit crops.
Key Features--
*Predator of two-spotted spider mite, European red mites, broad mites, cyclamen mites and russet mites
*Will also feed on pollen and thrips larvae allowing the population to survive when pest mite populations decrease
*Active at a broader temperature range (6-40?C / 43-104?F) than Phytoseiulus persimilis and Amblyseius californicus
*Since it is effective at lower temperatures, Amblyseius andersoni can be introduced much earlier in the growing season than other predatory mites
Target Pests--
*Broad mite
*Cyclamen mite
*Two-spotted spider mite
*Carmine mite
*Tomato russet/rust mite
*European red mite
Mini sachets
*Mini sachets are best used where the leaves of plants are not expected to touch or grow together. Mini sachet provide a high number or release points to ensure good spread and establishment of mites
*Sachets represent an improved breeding system that provides continuous and consistent release of beneficial insects over several weeks
*For advice on recommended release rates, consult The Bioline App

Key Features--
*Formulation contains mixed life stages - adults, larvae, pupae and eggs - for a balanced population
*Visible predator. Adults are mobile resulting in good dispersal and establishment.
*Tolerant of a wide range of temperatures, humidity, light, irrigation and soil conditions, making them more suitable for year-round use in the greenhouse than other predators.

Stratiolaelaps scimitus (formerly Hypoaspis miles) is a soil-dwelling mite capable of the prevention, control, and management of sciarid flies, shore flies and various thrips and soil pests. Not only are these mites predators of thrips' prepupal and pupal stages, they are very effective fungus gnat predators as well. S. scimitus are shipped as adults, immatures and eggs in liter-size shaker canisters filled with a loose vermiculite carrier and a percentage of clean peat, and some bran added for good measure. In this form, S. scimitus are very easy to distribute in the crop.

Starskii biological control agent contains the predatory mite, Amblyseius swirskii. It is primarily used to control whiteflies and thrips but it will provide some reduction in other small pest species.
Key Features--
*Amblyseius swirskii breed extremely quickly under warm, humid conditions. They will also survive in cooler night temperatures and through winter months in semi-protected crops.
*Actively feeds on thrips larvae (larva stage 1 or L1)
*Actively feeds on whitefly eggs and can feed on young whitefly larva (L1)
*In the absence of prey, it can feed on pollen, allowing it to survive longer in the crop
Target Pests--
*Western Flower thrips
*Chili thrips
*Onion thrips
*Greenhouse whitefly
*Silverleaf/Potato whitefly
Mini Sachets--
*Smaller sachets for more introduction points
*Best used where the leaves of plants are not expected to touch or grow together

Amblyline biological control agent contains the predatory mite Amblyseius cucumeris. It is a predator of Western Flower thrips, Chili Thrips and several other thrips species.
Key Features--
*Targets a wide range of thrips species
*Long history of highly effective use against thrips larvae
*Disperses quickly throughout the crop
*Applicable for use in a wide range of crops
*Amblyseius mites can also feed on pollen which allows for effective, long term control
*Mites are not susceptible to diapause
Target Pests--
*Thrips (Western Flower Thrips, Chili Thrips)
*Broad mite
*Cyclamen mite
Sachets on a Stick
*Propagation is one of the most critical times for pest management. Mini sachets on a stick are ideal for effective pest prevention and control at this time
*Labor savings versus weekly broadcast applications
*Water-resistant sticks do not take any plug space away
*Stick is round and small and can be used in any plug tray size
*Can be applied in propagation at sticking or seeding line
*Exit hole for mites is protected under waterproof
