Reliable Biocontrol with Amblyseius cucumeris
Amblyline is a biological control agent that contains the predatory mite Amblyseius cucumeris. It effectively targets various thrips species, including Western Flower Thrips and Chili Thrips, and is widely used in many protected crops.
Benefits of Ambly Stick
- ✅ Broad pest range: Controls Western Flower Thrips, Chili Thrips, and other thrips species.
- ✅ Proven performance: Longstanding success in controlling thrips larvae.

- ✅ Long-term control: Feeds on pollen, ensuring continuous establishment; not affected by diapause.
Main Uses
Western Flower Thrips, Chili Thrips, Broad Mites and Cyclamen Mites
How It Works
The Amblyline formulation is designed to release a high number of Amblyseius cucumeris mites daily onto the crop. These beneficial mites feed on the first larval stage (L1) of thrips. They do not attack older larvae or adults, making them most effective as part of an integrated pest management program. At 24°C (75°F), Cucumeris completes its development in 6–9 days, which aligns well with the lifecycle of thrips. The ideal conditions for optimal performance are 66–80°F and 65–75% relative humidity.
