Oriline biological control agent
Contains the predatory bug Orius, providing proven and reliable thrips control in a range of protected crops.
Benefits of Oriline I
- ✅Kills adults: The only biocontrol agent that targets adult thrips directly.
- ✅High capacity: Can kill up to 80 adult thrips per day while feeding on just a few.
- ✅Good establishment: Thrives on pollen-rich crops and responds well to Ephestia egg feeding.
- ✅Versatile predator: Also feeds on mites, moth eggs, and other pests.
Main uses
Effective control of Western Flower Thrips, Onion Thrips, other thrips species, moth eggs, and Two-Spotted Spider Mite.
How it works
All mobile stages are active predators attacking all thrips stages, including adults. Often used with predatory mites in crops like peppers for complementary control. Orius preys on adult thrips while mites like Amblyseius cucumeris or swirskii target young larvae, ensuring complete lifecycle management.
Application
Part of an integrated pest management program, introduced preventively or curatively to build populations over 4–8 weeks for sustainable thrips control.
