Versatile predator for spider mite management
Neoseiulus californicus (formerly Amblyseius californicus) is a predatory mite used to manage all life stages of various spider mite species, including the two-spotted spider mite. This mite is adaptable to different conditions and can also survive on pollen, other mites, or even without food for a short time. It is often used in combination with Phytoseiulus persimilis for integrated pest management programs.
Benefits of AMBLYCAcontrol 50k
- ✅ Heat tolerant: Performs well in hot environments with lower humidity levels.
- ✅ Longer lifespan: Typically lives longer than many other spider mite predators.
- ✅ Flexible diet: Can feed on pollen and other small pests when spider mites are scarce.
Main uses
Management of spider mite species at all life stages, including two-spotted spider mite, in greenhouse and field crops.
How it works
Neoseiulus californicus moves through the crop canopy, searching for spider mites to consume. When prey levels are low, it can feed on pollen or other small arthropods to maintain its population. This adaptability supports its use as part of integrated pest management programs, often alongside Phytoseiulus persimilis for more robust spider mite control strategies.
