Atheta-System – predatory beetle dispatching harmful soil insects
Dalotia (Atheta) coriaria works well in different substrates
- Effective against harmful soil pests - fungus gnat, shore fly and springtails larvae, plus moth larvae and thrips pupae
- Highly efficient – both adults and larvae of the rove beetle predate on pests
- Disperses well in the crop – winged beetles are highly mobile searching for food
- Homes in on prey - attracted by smell from affected plants and organic material harbouring pests
- Works well in different substrates – growing media, coir and rock wool
- Keeps working – Atheta does not hibernate (diapause) in protected crops.
