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.

Thripline is a proprietary product containing the aggregation pheromone of Western Flower Thrips, Frankliniella occidentalis. The product is designed to improve the sensitivity of monitoring traps for thrips, particularly at low levels of infestation or in easily damaged crops. Use of Thripline for monitoring allows growers to introduce additional control measures, such as Amblyline biological control agent, before thrips populations reach damaging levels.
Key Features--
*Maximum sensitivity in thrips monitoring
*Pheromone lure for Western Flower thrips causes thrips to move to the top of the crop resulting in earlier detection and estimation of population size
*Fits well into a thrips ICM program with other biological control agents and/or chemical spray treatments
Target Pests--
*Western Flower thrips
Available delivery systems--
*Supplied as units of 10 lures (septa) sealed in foil sachets
*Unopened sachets can be stored for up to one year in a refrigerator, or up to two years if kept frozen

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

For use against Aphids, Thrips, Mealybugs and Whiteflies. Looking like tiny alligators, Lacewing larvae (Chrysopa rufilabris) voraciously attack almost any prey they can grab. They inject a paralyzing venom and suck the body fluids from the helpless insect victim.
Green Lacewings are available as eggs in a cup, eggs glued to cards which are hung from foliage, or as pre-hatched ready to go larvae.
Application: Eggs and larvae can be hand sprinkled almost anywhere because Lacewings search up to 100 feet for their first meal. Lacewing eggs may be refrigerated for a few days at 38-45 F. to delay hatching, but be careful not to freeze them. Typical egg release rates range from 5000 - 50,000 eggs per acre, depending on infestation levels. Typical larvae release rates range from 1000-5000 per acre. Repeated releases every 2-4 weeks may be necessary in severe or heavy infestations.

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
Bugline
*6 x 100m strips of sachets
*Unique, patented delivery system developed by Bioline to help growers reduce the manual labor associated with using sachets or applying loose material
*Can be mechanically layered onto crop saving up to eight labor hours per acre compared to using single sachets
*Unique design of Bugline ensures maximum emergence of BCAs even under stressful conditions
*Works well in crops watered by overhead irrigation because water runs off outer surface while the emergence hole stays dry on lower surface
*Bugline is especially useful in a cut flower operation such as cut chrysanthemums where Bugline can be placed on top of the crop support mesh wiring
*For advice on recommended release rates, consult The Bioline App

Aphidoline biological control agent contains the predatory midge, Aphidoletes aphidimyza. This voracious midge lays its eggs in colonies of aphids, and the predatory larvae then attacks and feeds on the aphid prey. Aphidoletes aphidimyza larvae feed on more than 60 different species of aphid.
Key Features--
*Easy to use and monitor
*Excellent host-finding ability
*Applicable as curative treatment for aphid infestations
Target Pests--
*Aphids
Available delivery systems--
*Supplied in units of four blister packs with each pack containing sufficient pupae to produce 250 adults
*Also available in 16oz (500 mL) bottles including 1,000 cocoons mixed with moist vermiculite

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
