Bio Swirskii

SKU: TL06606705
Package Size

Amblyseius swirskii is a predatory mite and efficient predator of young stages of thrips, including western flower thrips (Frankliniella occidentalis). Swirskii will also feed on the eggs and young nymphs of whiteflies (Bemisia tabaci and Trialeurodes vaporariprum), and secondary targets include two-spotted spider mites (Tetranychus urticae), red spider mites (Tetranychus cinnabarinus), russet mites (Aceria anthocoptes), cyclamen mites (Phytonemus pallidus), and broad mites (Polyphagotarsonemus latus). In the absence of prey, it can survive on pollen, nectar from flowers, and Artemia. It does not hibernate and functions effectively, even on short days, if temperatures allow.

  • About Biologicals

  • Why Use Biologicals?

    One of the primary benefits of using beneficial insect release is that the process avoids chemical pest control methods such as pesticides. While pesticides are effective at controlling and eliminating pests, some plants and beneficial insects like bees can be affected negatively. Beneficial insects are a natural, organic, and environmentally sustainable way to control pests.
