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 / 43-104øF) 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

Chrysoline biological control agent contains the second instar larvae of Chrysoperla sp. They are commonly known as Green Lacewings. Chrysoperla sp. larvae are predators of insects, mites and aphids. Adults feed only on nectar and pollen, and are not predatory.
Key Features:
*Targets a broad spectrum of aphid pests on different plants, thus reducing the worry of making an incorrect species identification.
*One larva can eat more than 200 aphids
*Easy to observe and monitor
*Adults disperse and hunt down aphid colonies. Adult females lay single eggs on long stalks, usually on the underside of leaves. When the larva hatches, it immediately moves down this stalk until it reaches the leaf surface, where it begins to search for prey.
*Ideal for hot spot treatments due to its quick knock down effect on aphids
*Larvae need food to survive and complete their larval stages so Chrysoline is not suitable for preventive use
Target Pests:
*Aphids
*Mealy Bugs
