The Orius predatory bug feeds on adult Thrip and larvae, including the larger larvae. Both the adult and the nymph stage of the Orius life cycle will feed on Thrips.
The Orius will also feed on flower pollen which allows for their introduction before the Thrip pests are visibly present. With predators on the plant at all times, the Thrips can be killed before they can take hold. Orius can take a few weeks to establish, however, and will adapt better when such a source of pollen is available.
We advise the combined application of Orius with the Amblyseius cucumeris predatory mites to tackle larger infestations, and establish total control.
Severe Thrip infestations may require more than one application of predators. Allow 7-10 days and reapply the predators if the Thrips are still visibly present. Once the infestation is controlled switch to our sachets to avoid further outbreaks.
How to use
Apply in a cool morning or evening and avoid application in bright sunlight. Open the bottle whilst keeping it horizontal to ensure bugs stay well mixed in the carrier. Distribute the contents evenly onto leaves throughout the crop, by gently shaking and rotating the bottle, it is best to make four smaller introductions each week to create overlapping Orius. Store at 6-10°C / 43-50°F and keep out of direct sunlight. Use within 18 hours of receipt.
