BioSwirski (Amblyseius swirskii) is an efficient predatory mite used for the control of young stages of the western flower thrips as well as the eggs and young nymphs of white flies. It also feeds on red spider mites as well as on broad mites.
The establishment of BioSwirski can be improved by providing supplemental feed when none is present, such as BioArtFeed which contains high premium decapsulated Artemia cysts.
