Products & services
Bugline
Anderline biological control agent contains the predatory mite, Amblyseius andersoni. It is a predatory mite that feeds on many types of small arthropod prey and pollen. It is ideal for preventive protection of greenhouse or outdoor ornamentals, vegetables and fruit crops
Starskii
Starskii biological control agent contains the predatory mite, Amblyseius swirskii. It is primarily used to control whiteflies and thrips but it will provide some reduction in other small pest species.
Aphidoline blister pack
Aphidoline biological control agent contains the predatory midge, Aphidoletes aphidimyza. This voracious midge lays its eggs in colonies of aphids, and the predatory larvae then attacks and feeds on the aphid prey. Aphidoletes aphidimyza larvae feed on more than 60 different species of aphid.
Tricholine
Trichogramma are minute (< 1 mm) parasitic wasps. The female lays its eggs in the eggs of the pests, destroying them and preventing the emergence of caterpillars. Although Tricholine TA was first discovered as a product for controlling Tuta absoluta on Tomatoes, it’s now known to control a broad range of lepidopteran pests including Duponchelia spp., Chrysodeixis spp. and Heliothis spp. It can also be used in a wide range of crops including tomato, bell peppers, aubergines, ornamentals, tobacco and even bananas.
Sprayvent
SPRAYVENT is the first liquid phase Phytoseiulus persimilis spraying system on the market. The SPRAYVENT system combines a unique liquid formulation ensuring the survival of Phytosieulus in water and a patented device guaranteeing regular, effective and harmless application for Phytoseiulus. Key Features SPRAYVENT is a patented system for applying Phytoseiulus in the liquid phase. The system consists of a machine that gently applies the Phytoseiulus to the plants, and a unique formulation. SPRAYVENT reduces by up to 76% the losses caused by predatory mites falling to the ground during application. Thanks to the patented formulation, the mites contained in the drops adhere to the foliage and are released within a few minutes of drying, leaving no visible residue. Preserved performance. Thanks to the original formulation, the predatory mites can remain in solution for up to 2 hours without having any significant impact on their survival rate in the plants after a few days or on their fecundity rate. Rapid application of predatory mites. The 10-litre tank is sufficient to apply up to 10 linear kilometres without needing to be refilled. At cruising speed, the time saved can be as much as 14%, or even more when using motorised systems. Optimised protection potential. Because the predatory mites remain on the leaves during application and settle well in the crop, the population of predatory mites in our trials remains higher than the population of predatory mites applied manually.
DUO Bugline
One application, twice the protection BUGLINE DUO is the first release system on the market to introduce two species of predatory mite in a single application. The combination of two predatory mites in the same product thus provides protection against several types of pest in a single application for an optimal efficacy of the crop protection programme. This product requires fewer applications and less time to install, while guaranteeing perfect dosing with no wastage and no need for specific training. DUO: exclusive combination of two predatory mites in the same product. The BUGLINE DUO innovation contains two different species of predatory mite with complementary actions. This exclusive combination in the same release system aims to protect crops from several pests with a single application. The two species are packaged separately in alternating sachets for an even distribution. BUGLINE: an easy-to-install pre-dosed strip. The BUGLINE DUO system consists of a succession of sachets joined together to form a strip. The predatory mites are distributed in the sachets at a constant dose and alternate with perfect regularity. Thus, when installing the strip, a uniform and regular dose is automatically ensured without having to worry about distributing the products. Since the paper used in Bugline has a certain water resistance and the exit holes for the predatory mites are underneath, Bugline can be used with standard irrigation systems that water the plants from above. CRS sachets: extended efficacy. BUGLINE DUO sachets contain CRS technology. This technology ensures that each sachet constitutes a mini-breeding hub of predatory
DUO gemini
One application, twice the protection GEMINI DUO is the first release system on the market to introduce two species of predatory mite in a single application. The combination of two predatory mites in the same product thus provides protection against several types of pest in a single application for an optimal efficacy of the crop protection programme. This product requires fewer applications and less time to install, while guaranteeing perfect dosing with no wastage and no need for specific training. DUO: an exclusive combination of two predatory mites in the same product. The GEMINI DUO innovation contains two different species of predatory mite with complementary actions. This exclusive combination in the same release system aims to protect crops from several pests with a single application. The two species are packaged separately in adjacent sachets. GEMINI: an easy-to-install protection system. The GEMINI system consists of two sachets joined together to form a roof. Each species of predatory mite is distributed in the sachets at a fixed dose. Thus, when the Gemini sachets are installed, an even ratio between the two species is guaranteed. Due to the roof shape of the Gemini sachets and since the paper used has a certain water resistance and the exit holes for the predatory mites are underneath, Gemini Duo can be used with standard irrigation systems that water the plants from above. CRS sachets: extended efficacy. GEMINI DUO sachets contain CRS technology. This technology ensures that each sachet constitutes a mini-breeding hub of predatory mites. They progressively leave the sachet over several weeks, thus providing continuous crop protection.
Chrysoline Eggline
CHRYSOLINE EGGLINE is een gebruiksklaar, innovatief product voor het uitzetten van Chrysoperla carnea-eitjes. Gaasvliegen worden veel gebruikt op verschillende gewassen om een groot aantal plagen te bestrijden. Het product wordt geleverd als een juten touw met daaraan de eitjes bevestigd.; Het touw wordt eenvoudig over het gewas uitgerold. Het aantal eitjes per strekkende meter is berekend om de juiste dosering te bieden, gegroepeerd in kleine clusters en op regelmatige afstanden. Toepassing is daardoor zeer snel en vereist geen voorbereiding. Deze oplossing laat geen residu van draagstof - achter op het gewas en zodra de eitjes zijn uitgekomen, kan het touw nog eenvoudiger worden verwijderd dan bij het uitrollen. Doordat de eitjes aan het CHRYSOLINE EGGLINE-touw zijn bevestigd, gaan er geen eieren verloren op de grond. Dankzij hun steeltjes zijn de eitjes beschermd tegen mieren en andere predatoren. CHRYSOLINE EGGLINE heeft een hoog uitkomstpercentage onder normale gebruiksomstandigheden, wat gemakkelijk waarneembaar is en een duidelijke visuele indicatie geeft van de larvale activiteit in het gewas.
Podiline
De roofschildwants tegen de stinkwants (Nezara viridula) en andere gewasplagen Podisus maculiventris is een roofschildwants uit de familie Pentatomidae die zich voedt met fytophage stinkwantsen en andere plantenetende plagen. De roofschildwants is relatief groot (ongeveer 11 mm als volwassen insect) en onderscheidt zich door zijn schildvormige lichaam. P. maculiventris heeft twee kenmerkende stekels op het borststuk. Vrouwtjes leggen eiclusters (tussen 15 en 60 eitjes) die na 5 tot 10 dagen uitkomen. Nimfen doorlopen 5 stadia. Zowel nimfen als volwassen exemplaren zijn predatoren.
