Orius spp. (Orius laevigatus, Orius insidiosus or Oruis majusculus) Oriline products contain the predatory bug Orius, which has a long history of providing effective and reliable thrips control in a range of protected crops. Orius serves as a standard preventive treatment for thrips, particularly Western Flower Thrips, Frankliniella occidentalis. The Oriline product range consists of three products, each tailored to the country and the use required.

  • Orius is the only biological control agent that kills adult thrips.
  • Can kill up to 80 adult thrips per day (while only feeding on a few).
  • Establishes well on pollen-rich crops.
  • Feeding Ephestia eggs (Bug Food E) will enhance the establishment of Orius due to increased fecundity.
  • All five Orius nymph stages are also predatory and adults can fly.
  • Considered a generalist predator it will also feed on mites, moth eggs and other pests.
  • Takes 4 to 8 weeks to establish a population.
  • Western Flower thrips
  • Onion thrips
  • Other thrips spp
  • Moth eggs
  • TSSM (Two Spotted Spider Mite)
  • All mobile stages are voracious predators of Western Flower thrips and will attack any developmental stage including adults.
  • Often used in a program with predatory mites in crops such as peppers, where it will quickly establish when feeding on the target pest as well as pollen.
  • Introducing Amblyseius cucumeris or swirskii will control young thrips, and the Orius will complement this by preying on both juvenile and adult thrips.

Oriline i contains the species Orius insidiosus and is specifically used in North America because it is native to this part of the world.

  • Supplied in a 250ml bottle containing 500 adults and late instar nymphs.

Instructions for use

  • Apply in cool morning or evening.
  • Avoid application in bright sunlight.
  • Open bottle keeping it horizontal to ensure bugs stay well mixed in carrier.
  • Distribute contents evenly onto leaves throughout crop, by gently shaking and rotating the bottle.
  • Best to make four smaller introductions each week to create overlapping Orius

Storage and transport

  • Transport and store at 6-10°C / 43-50°F.
