Pest control
-
Adaline
Adaline products contain the predatory ladybug, Adalia bipunctata. These products are recommended for treating aphid hotspots because they can give rapid reduction of established aphid colonies. Adults and larvae are both voracious predators of most types of aphid. They combine well with parasites products such as Aphiline, which take longer to give visible control.

Aphelinus abdominalis adults also feed on younger aphid instars contributing to overall control. This species should be used in preventative IPM programs against a wide range of aphids. It is a relatively long lived species so it is a good complement to releases of Aphiline and/or Erviline because it helps to give longer term control.
-

BUGLINE DUO
One application, twice the protection
BUGLINE DUO is the first release system on the market to introduce two species of predatory mite in a single application. The combination of two predatory mites in the same product thus provides protection against several types of pest in a single application for an optimal efficacy of the crop protection programme. This product requires fewer applications and less time to install, while guaranteeing perfect dosing with no wastage and no need for specific training.
- DUO: exclusive combination of two predatory mites in the same product. The BUGLINE DUO innovation contains two different species of predatory mite with complementary actions. This exclusive combination in the same release system aims to protect crops from several pests with a single application. The two species are packaged separately in alternating sachets for an even distribution.
- BUGLINE: an easy-to-install pre-dosed strip. The BUGLINE DUO system consists of a succession of sachets joined together to form a strip. The predatory mites are distributed in the sachets at a constant dose and alternate with perfect regularity. Thus, when installing the strip, a uniform and regular dose is automatically ensured without having to worry about distributing the products. Since the paper used in Bugline has a certain water resistance and the exit holes for the predatory mites are underneath, Bugline can be used with standard irrigation systems that water the plants from above.
- CRS sachets: extended efficacy. BUGLINE DUO sachets contain CRS technology. This technology ensures that each sachet constitutes a mini-breeding hub of predatory

GEMINI DUO
One application, twice the protection
GEMINI DUO is the first release system on the market to introduce two species of predatory mite in a single application. The combination of two predatory mites in the same product thus provides protection against several types of pest in a single application for an optimal efficacy of the crop protection programme. This product requires fewer applications and less time to install, while guaranteeing perfect dosing with no wastage and no need for specific training.
- DUO: an exclusive combination of two predatory mites in the same product. The GEMINI DUO innovation contains two different species of predatory mite with complementary actions. This exclusive combination in the same release system aims to protect crops from several pests with a single application. The two species are packaged separately in adjacent sachets.
- GEMINI: an easy-to-install protection system. The GEMINI system consists of two sachets joined together to form a roof. Each species of predatory mite is distributed in the sachets at a fixed dose. Thus, when the Gemini sachets are installed, an even ratio between the two species is guaranteed. Due to the roof shape of the Gemini sachets and since the paper used has a certain water resistance and the exit holes for the predatory mites are underneath, Gemini Duo can be used with standard irrigation systems that water the plants from above.
- CRS sachets: extended efficacy. GEMINI DUO sachets contain CRS technology. This technology ensures that each sachet constitutes a mini-breeding hub of predatory mites. They progressively leave the sachet over several weeks, thus providing continuous crop protection.

PREDAFIX PLUS
Precision sprayable food for optimized predatory mite establishment
PREDAFIX PLUS is the leading sprayable food for predatory mites on the market. As a third generation feed, it provides an effective alternative to existing food sources. PREDAFIX PLUS is sprayed onto the crop to feed the predatory mites and improve their establishment, and thus the efficacy of the pest protection. PREDAFIX PLUS reduces both application time and costs since it can be mixed with other products to be sprayed.
PREDAFIX PLUS contains only pure and sterilised eggs of an astigmatic mite that is naturally present in many countries. These eggs are hypoallergenic to humans. Feeding with PREDAFIX PLUS optimizes the installation of predatory mites by raising their fertility (more than twice as many eggs laid), resulting in an increase in the populations of predatory mites on the plant. It can be used to feed the majority of predatory mites on many types of crop. PREDAFIX PLUS increases their population from the first
week, and by up to 5 times more compared to the non-fed populations. PREDAFIX PLUS is applied by spraying on the crop using a standard sprayer and can be mixed with phytosanitary products.*
