Aphiline biological control agent contains the Braconid wasp, Aphidius colemani. This wasp stings and parasitizes smaller aphid species, such as the melon or cotton aphid (Aphis gossypii), peach aphid (Myzus persicae) and tobacco aphid (Myzus nicotianae).
Key Features--
*Prevents aphid populations from developing and reduces moderate populations to non-damaging levels
*Adults begin to emerge in transit, ready for immediate release
*Not light sensitive - no diapause stage
*Ventilation and food source available in packaging ensures adult survival in transit and storage
*Suitable for all greenhouse crops
Target Pests--
*Aphids
Available delivery systems--
*30mL (1oz) vial containing purified mummies in sufficient quantity to yield 500 or 1,000 Aphidius colemani
*250mL bottle containing 5,000 mummies

Californiline biological control agent contains the predatory mite, Amblyseius californicus. It is a generalist predator targeting various spider mite species including two-spotted mites.
Key Features--
*Generalist predator which can also feed on pollen and other arthropods
*Persists longer in the crop than many other spider mite predators
*Active in high temperature and low humidity conditions
Target Pests--
*Two-spotted spider mite
*Carmine mite
Mini sachets are best used where the leaves of plants are not expected to touch or grow together. Beneficial predators are less able to disperse throughout these crops. Mini sachets gives more release points and therefore better distribution of predators.
*Mini sachets are smaller than CRS sachets and can be introduced at a higher rate
*For advice on recommended release rates, consult The Bioline App

Chrysoline biological control agent contains the second instar larvae of Chrysoperla sp. They are commonly known as Green Lacewings. Chrysoperla sp. larvae are predators of insects, mites and aphids. Adults feed only on nectar and pollen, and are not predatory.
Key Features:
*Targets a broad spectrum of aphid pests on different plants, thus reducing the worry of making an incorrect species identification.
*One larva can eat more than 200 aphids
*Easy to observe and monitor
*Adults disperse and hunt down aphid colonies. Adult females lay single eggs on long stalks, usually on the underside of leaves. When the larva hatches, it immediately moves down this stalk until it reaches the leaf surface, where it begins to search for prey.
*Ideal for hot spot treatments due to its quick knock down effect on aphids
*Larvae need food to survive and complete their larval stages so Chrysoline is not suitable for preventive use
Target Pests:
*Aphids
*Mealy Bugs
