Amblyseius californicus
Californiline biological control agent contains the predatory mite, Amblyseius californicus. It is a generalist predator targeting various spider mite species including two-spotted mites.
How It Works
- Feeds on mites in the family Tetranychidae, including the common two-spotted mite, Tetranychus urticae, and the carmine mite, Tetranychus cinnabarinus.
- Total development time at 21°C / 69.8°F is nearly 10 days, while at 30°C / 86°F development time is reduced to five days. These temperatures align with the temperatures at which their principal prey, the two-spotted spider mite, develops.
Instructions
- Keep containers horizontal and cool until use.
- Do not expose to direct sunlight at any time.
- Immediately before opening, gently rotate the container to distribute mites evenly throughout the carrier.
- Open each container in the crop when ready to use.
- Sprinkle the mixture onto the leaves of the crop, applying more into and around developing spider mite colonies.
Storage and transport
- Keep out of direct intense sunlight.
- Transport and store at 10-15ºC /50-59ºF and >65% humidity.
- Use within 18 hours of receipt.
