Description

Orius spp. are small, helpful insects that eat harmful pests like thrips, aphids, whiteflies, mites, small caterpillars, and insect eggs. They also feed on pollen, which helps support plant pollination in a natural way. Orius are commonly used in greenhouses and open fields to protect vegetables and ornamental plants, especially in areas where chemical pesticides are limited or avoided.

Application

To apply Orius, start with preventive releases in pollen-producing crops as soon as the first flowers appear. Use about 1 to 3 bugs per square meter, and repeat the release 2 to 4 times, especially in areas with a history of pest problems. For low-level infestations or small hotspots, release 6 to 10 bugs per square meter, and repeat 1 to 3 times as needed. In the case of larger hotspots or heavy infestations, apply 10 to 20 bugs per square meter directly onto the affected areas. Curative treatments can also be done in crops without pollen as targeted spot treatments.

Storage

Use immediately upon receipt. If not possible, the product can be briefly stored at 10-15°C (50-59°F) and RH > 85%. Kindly always respect the use-by-date to preserve its effectiveness.
