Anderline - 100m Bugline (6)

Amblyseius andersoni

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 (6-40ºC / 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..

Main Uses

• Broad mite
• Cyclamen mite
• Two-spotted spider mite
• Carmine mite
• Tomato russet/rust mite
• European red mite

How it works

• 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.

Delivery System

• 6 x 100m strips of sachets
