BioAndersoni (Amblyseius andersoni) is a predatory mite that feeds on small arthropod prey and pollen. BioAndersoni is less than 1mm in length and is often used in tomatoes due to its ability to maneuver between trichomes. They are active across a wide temperature range, allowing for early season introduction into crops yet might enter diapause with cooler temperatures and short day lengths (<10 hr.).

Since A. andersoni is able to feed on pollen, it can be applied before the pests’ arrival.

BioAphidius (Aphidius colemani ) is a parasitic wasp. This polyphagous parasitoid attacks over 40 species of aphids. The adults are small slender wasps with black, brown and yellow coloration, brown legs and long antennae. Aphidius colemani’s size depends on the size of the parasitized aphid, but is usually about 2 mm long.
Aphidius colemani’s activity is optimal between temperatures of 20-30°C. Below 15°C, the adult is inactive. An adult female parasitoid may perform several hundred oviposition attempts during its lifespan, out of which up to 200 eggs will be laid successfully.

BioAphytis (Aphytis melinus) is a parasitic wasp used in the control of california red scale (Aonidiella aurantii), oleander scale (Aspidiotus nerii) and oriental scale (Aonidiella orientalis). The female wasps lay eggs under the waxy shield covering the scale. A larva hatches and starts feeding on the scale as an ectoparasitoid, ultimately killing the scale insect. Adult female wasps actively search for suitable hosts; they prefer to parasitize 2nd and 3rd instar nymphs as well as unmated mature scale females.

On average, one female wasp can lay up to 100 eggs and can feed regularly on scale insects (host feeding) to obtain protein for egg development. Total development of BioAphytis from egg to adult is between 13 to 18 days depending on temperature. BioAphytis is well adapted to high ambient temperature of between 25°C to 35°C and low humidity. Aphytis pass through approximately three generations for every generation of red scale.

BioAtheta (Dalotia coriaria) is a fast-moving, soil dwelling rove beetle. A generalist predator, it feeds on a wide range of small insects and mites but is primarily an egg predator. BioAtheta is used in the control of fungus gnats, thrips pupae, shore flies, moth fly larvae, root mealybugs, springtails and other small arthropods.

While they are beetles, they do not quite look like beetles. They are light to dark brown in color, with adults being 3-4 mm long. BioAtheta curve their abdomen upwards (like scorpions) and can run or fly when disturbed . Since they can actively fly, they rapidly colonize the release area.

Each adult rove beetle consumes 10-20 prey per day. In greenhouse conditions, adults are non-diapausing and can be used year round especially in propagation conditions.

BioCalifornicus (Neoseiulus californicus) is an effective predatory mite of a wide array of pest mites.

N. californicus is <1mm long, pear-shaped and buff to tan colored. Males are much smaller and darker brown than females, with females generally more numerous. Their eggs are oblong, transparent and white to dirty-white in color. The female lays oval, clear whitish eggs, singly or in small clusters on leaf undersides, often on leaf hairs or at the vein junctions. The rate of development from egg to adult is temperature dependent under greenhouse conditions and ranges from 4-10 days.

Neoseiulus californicus establishes well, even when pest numbers are scarce. It is able to feed on various species of prey and on alternative such as pollen. BioCalifornicus is highly tolerant to a wide range of temperatures, both high and low as well as to low humidity and dry conditions.

BioDiglyphus (Diglyphus isaea) is an ectoparasitic wasp that parasitizes leaf miner larvae in field and greenhouse crops.

BioDiglyphus is a small black wasp (2mm long) with a metallic green sheen. Females lay their eggs in the vicinity of the host (second and third instar leaf miner larvae), the larvae that hatch from the eggs feed on the host, pupate within the empty tunnel of the host, eventually emerging  from the upper epidermis as fully grown adults.

Leaf-mining flies in the genus Liriomyza (Diptera: Agromyzidae) are the most important hosts of Diglyphus isaea. It attacks several species of leafminers, including Liriomyza trifolii, L. bryoniae, L. huidobrensis, L. cicerina, L. congesta, L. pusilla, L. pusio, L. sativae and L. strigata.

BioEncarsia (Encarsia formosa) is a parasitic wasp of the Aphelinidae family. E. formosa can utilize at least 15 species of whitefly as hosts but the principal host is the greenhouse whitely.

The tiny females are black with a yellow abdomen and opalescent wings while the males (although rare) are completely black in color. BioEncarsia should only be applied when temperatures range between 20-30°C.

Parasitized greenhouse whitefly pupae turn black in about 10 days and are easily distinguished from non-parasitized hosts.

BioErvi is an effective parasitic wasp for larger aphid species that are not effectively controlled by Aphidius colemani such as potato aphids (Macrosiphum euphorbiae), foxglove aphids (Aulacorthum solani) as well as pea aphids (Acyrthosiphon pisum) and can also parasitize cannabis aphids (Phorodon cannabis) .

BioHb is an Entomopathogenic nematode containing infective juveniles of Heterorhabditis bacteriophora in an inert carrier.

Nematodes actively search for larvae. After locating pest larvae, nematodes invade through natural body openings and inject bacteria into the insect. The bacteria develops within the insect and it dies of septicemia after 2-3 days. Nematodes reproduce inside the dead larva and then leave the dead larva in search of further prey.

BioPersi+ (Phytoseiulus persimilis) is a predatory mite, proven outstanding, aggressive and highly effective against spider mites. The adult female is a distinctive reddish-orange color (when feeding on spider mites) with a pear-shaped body. Its long front legs allow it to move quickly and easily navigate spider mite webs.

BioPersi+ is produced using a new alternative food system, a true revolution in the mass rearing of Phytoseiulus persimilis.
This innovative product contains predators which are initially pale white, but change to the typical reddish-orange once they start feeding on spider mites in the crop. The white to red color change confirms active predation and is a useful visual indicator. BioPersi+ has a higher fecundity than the traditional BioPersimilis: females lay over 19 eggs within 5 days, under favorable conditions. BioPersi+ displays better searching ability and control of spider mite hot spots.
