AMBLYcontrol (500 sachets) for the control of thrips

Amblyseius cucumeris
AMBLYcontrol contains the predatory mite Amblyseius cucumeris from the Phytoseiidae family. A. cucumeris is probably the best known predatory mite against thrips. The predatory mites cover the entire plant and are always looking for food. Besides thrips, A. cucumeris can also survive on pollen and can therefore be used preventatively in pollen-producing crops. Amblyseius cucumeris does not damage the crop or flowers. The predatory mites mainly eat the first larval stage of thrips. In addition, they have a strong side effect on spider mites. Due to their short life cycle, they can multiply rapidly and their number is part of their strength.

AMBLYcontrol should be used at an early stage of pest development. The predatory mite can be used in many different crops where thrips occur.

Product characteristics
- The short life cycle of the predatory mite results in rapid reproduction.

Instructions for use
Keep product cool until use. Allow the product to reach (greenhouse) temperature gradually. Avoid increasing the temperature too quickly as this can lead to a temperature shock for the predatory mites. Open the box with the bags in the crop. Tear the bags apart along the perforations. Distribute the breeding bags as evenly as possible over the crop. Hang the bags in a place sheltered from the sun. Avoid contact with heating pipes and CO2 pipes. The extent of use always depends on the pest pressure in the crop, so ask the product specialist for the correct dosage.

Storage and transport
Check the product on receipt for deviations and report any complaints or comments within 24 hours. Use the product preferably immediately. If storage is required, the product should be stored horizontally and in the dark in a ventilated area at a temperature of 15-18°C and a humidity of 70-80% for a maximum of 24 hours. When the product is stored longer and/or under different conditions, Royal Brinkman is not responsible for loss of quality.
