Anderline Mini Sachets - 200 per case
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. Predator of two-spotted spider mite, European red mites, broad mites, carmine mites, tarsonemid 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 (6-40ºC / 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.
For best results, release Amblyseius andersoni when pest mite populations are low. The predatory mites will feed on small colonies of pest mites, preventing them from growing in to large populations that can cause major crop damage. Curative applications have also been successful on some crops, such as cucumbers and ornamental plants but Anderline is always best used as a preventative control.
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.
