Neoseiulus (Amblyseius) cucumeris is a small, mobile predatory mite known for its effectiveness against thrips, broad mites, cyclamen mites, and spider mites. As it also feeds on pollen, it can be used preventatively in pollen-bearing crops. For non-pollen-bearing crops or before flowering, it is available as breeder material (ABS), which is mixed with a food source to ensure long-term reproduction and gradual release into the crop. Additionally, it is available as a sprinkler material (Amblyseius-System and Amblyseius-Vermiculite-System) for curative applications. Combining it with other natural enemies of thrips, such as the Insidiosus-System, Swirskii-System, and Degenerans-System, during late spring and summer enhances its effectiveness.

Key Features:

• Pear-shaped and highly mobile predatory mite
• Effectively controls thrips larvae, broad mites, and cyclamen mites
• Complements primary spider mite predators
• Feeds on pollen, allowing survival without prey and making it ideal for preventative control
