Amblyseius swirskii (Sachets)
Biobest
Amblyseius swirskii is a particularly voracious predatory mite that targets the larvae of tropical thrips species, whitefly eggs, and tarsonemids. Unlike Neoseiulus cucumeris, Amblyseius swirskii performs well in higher temperature environments. Therefore, it is particularly suitable for use in greenhouses and cultivation tents.
These slow-release sachets are used for prevention. They contain predators at all stages of growth to provide prolonged action.
