• Sachets with Hooks – Each sachet containing a breeding colony of mites that will emerge onto the plant, to attack the larvae and pupae of thrip. The breeding colony is contained within a small paper sachet, which is carefully designed to maintain the colony in good condition. Mites continue to emerge from sachets over several weeks and in much higher numbers than with a single broadcast release.  Sachets are perfect for positioning mites on individual plants, for introducing predators early in the season when food is scarce or for use outdoors. Use 1 sachet per 1 – 2 sqm or use one sachet per plant.
• Shafer Tube of 50,000 predators – Supplied in a “shaker” tube of 50,000 predators packed with Bran and Vermiculite, the contents are simply sprinkled over the affected crop. These tubes of predators are perfect for introducing high numbers of predators quickly i.e. perfect for use where the pest is already present / where there are a large number of individual plants (in pots) and it is easier to “sprinkle”  the predators over the top.  Apply at a rate of 50-250 predators per sqm i.e. a tube of 50,000 predators will treat up to 200 sqm.
