Powerful thrips control with predatory bug Orius
Oriline products contain the predatory bug Orius, a proven and reliable solution for thrips management in protected crops. Orius is widely used as a standard preventive treatment, particularly effective against Western Flower Thrips (Frankliniella occidentalis).
Benefits of Oriline I
- ✅ Kills adult thrips: Orius is the only biocontrol agent that actively preys on adult thrips.
- ✅ High kill capacity: Can eliminate up to 80 adult thrips per day, even when feeding on only a few.
- ✅ Strong crop establishment: Thrives in pollen-rich crops and can be supported with Ephestia eggs (Bug Food E).
- ✅ Generalist predator: Feeds on thrips, mites, moth eggs, and other pests; all life stages are predatory and adults can fly.
Main Uses
Oriline is used for the control of Western Flower Thrips, Onion Thrips, other thrips species, moth eggs, and Two-Spotted Spider Mites (TSSM).
How It Works
All mobile stages of Orius are aggressive predators of thrips and can attack every life stage, including adults. Orius establishes well in crops like peppers, especially when pollen and thrips are present. It is often used in combination with predatory mites such as Amblyseius cucumeris or swirskii, which target the larval stages. Orius complements this strategy by effectively controlling both juvenile and adult thrips. Population establishment typically takes 4 to 8 weeks.
