Montyline - 1000 Mini Sachets with Hooks

Amblyseius montdorensis

Montyline biological control agent contains the predatory mite, Amblyseius montdorensis. It is a predatory mite that feeds on many types of small arthropod prey and pollen. It is ideal for preventive control of whitefly and thrips in greenhouses. Montyline is active at a broader range of temperatures than other predatory mites, making it perfect for controlling pests in challenging environmental conditions.

Target Pests

• Whitefly
• Thrips
• Eriophyids & Tarsonemid mites

Key Features

• Excellent control of both Whitefly and Thrips
• Superior Thrips control because it is able to predate upon both first and second instar larvae
• Activity at a lower range of temperatures gives better establishment in cooler crops (12-18°C)
• Explosive population growth gives better recovery after cold environmental periods
• Strong secondary suppression of Spider mites and Eripohyid mites.

How it works

Ideal for use on peppers, cucumbers, aubergines, strawberries and cut flowers. It can be used on non-protected crops, provided temperatures do not remain below 10-12°C for extended periods.

• Establishment will be fastest on crops with ample pollen, such as pepper crops, as the pollen provides an alternative, high quality food source for the mites.
• Crops without pollen will have slower establishment, but using sachets that continually release mites over several weeks will improve results.
• Best used early in crop/pest cycle to prevent whitefly and thrips buildup.

Delivery System
