Bioline - Orius Insidiosus 500 bugs

Oriline i contains the species Orius insidiosus is specifically used in North America because it is native to this part of the world. Orius is one of the only biological control agents that is able to kill adult thrips . This species has become a standard treatment for thrips almost worldwide. It is often used as a follow up treatment after Amblyline or Swirskiline releases. It takes around 4-8 weeks to establish a population particularly well on pollen-rich crops. However, Bioline’s Oriline product is reared in our “ACTIV” rearing system which provides faster establishment on the crop.
