Anderline biological control agent
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.
Benefits of Anderl. Stick
- ✅Predator: Of two-spotted spider mite, European red mites, broad mites, cyclamen mites and russet mites.
- ✅Survival: Will also feed on pollen and thrips larvae allowing the population to survive when pest mite populations decrease.
- ✅Temperature: Active at a broader temperature range (6–40ºC / 43–104°F) than Phytoseiulus persimilis and Amblyseius californicus.
- ✅Early: Effective at lower temperatures allowing Amblyseius andersoni to 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 feed on small colonies of pest mites, preventing them from growing into 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 best used as a preventative control.
