  • Highly voracious – predatory mites feed on thrips larvae
  • Continuous control – ABS breeding sachets release steady stream of thrips predators
  • Highly mobile – predatory mites seek out prey

  • A. cucumeris mites multiply inside the sachets
  • Continual release of predatory mites over several weeks.
