for thrip control:
Several species of AMBLYSEIUS predatory mites can be used on protected crops against thrips such as Thrips tabaci and Frankliniella occidentalis. They eat the young thrips, and may also take young spider mites. They will also feed on pollen. Minimum temperature 20C (68F), daylength more than 13 hours. Blue sticky traps hung above the crop will collect adult thrips without interfering with the predators. Supplied either as sprinkler packs for direct application, or in sachets containing breeding colonies with food, for slow release over several weeks. Sprinkler pack of 50,000 predators price £19.50 + VAT 100 sachets £14 + VAT 250 sachets £25 + VAT HYPOASPIS mites will eat thrips dropping to the soil to pupate - see soil pests page. NEMASYS GROW YOUR OWN contains a mixture of nematode species to control thrips, caterpillars, ants, and several species of soil pests. For thrip control, the nematodes are sprayed onto infested foliage and kill on contact. Avoid spraying in sunny conditions which will dehydrate the nematodes before they have time to invade the thrips. Repeat applications weekly or fortnightly while thrips are active. Packs have a shelf life of 6 weeks so to save postage costs order several and keep them in the fridge until needed. Pack to treat up to 60sq.m. £4.95 incl. VAT. |
