Californicus predatory mites against spiders

2.800 ISK

Californicus predatory mites in bags for preventive control of spider mites, 10 small bags. Orders placed by Sunday evening will be shipped the following Tuesday. Neoseiulus (Amblyseius) californicus is a predatory mite used in the preventive control of spider mites. They are supplied in 10 small bags. These are hung out in the plants before, or when, spider mites are observed. Californicus is a 0.5mm large, transparent to light yellow predatory mite. It feeds, for example, on the common spider mite species, the greenhouse spider mite, which can affect both ornamental and vegetable plants. Californicus is a hardy predatory mite that can also survive on other mites and pollen. They are therefore well suited to use as a preventative against spider mites, as they can be released even before spider infestations are observed. Compared to the commonly used spider mite <a href="https://shop.nyttodjur.se/shop/14-spinnkvalster/14-spinnrovkvalster/" target="_blank">Phytoseiulus persimilis,</a> Californicus can handle a wider temperature range. They can be used at temperatures between 8 and 35°C, with an optimum of 20-33°C. They are also less sensitive to drier environments. Californicus is also used to control red spider mites, such as citrus and fruit tree mites, which the common spider mite does not attack. However, in the event of widespread infestation of greenhouse spider mites, it is recommended <a href="https://shop.nyttodjur.se/shop/14-spinnkvalster/14-spinnrovkvalster/" target="_blank">spider mite</a> ( Phytoseiulus persimilis), which is then more effective. User manual It is advisable to plant Californicus early in the growing season (in greenhouses in May/June) before the spider mites become too established. The bags are hung on the plant, on branches or leaf stalks. Use 1 bag per plant, or about 2-3 bags/m² . The predatory mites will get out of the bag and up over the plant. The bags will last 4-6 weeks. The bag does not need to be perforated further, it has small holes where the mites can come out. Avoid the bag coming into contact with the soil and hang it out of direct sunlight. The predatory mites should be released immediately after receipt, but can be stored for a couple of days at 15 degrees.

Raspberry trap with scent

3.800 ISK

Trap with scent (kairomone) to catch raspberry flies in the berry orchard. In a package of 1 trap including scent 1 capsule. Orders placed by Sunday evening will be shipped the following Tuesday. Raspberry meadows (Byturus tomentosus) can cause great damage to raspberries and blackberries. The adult beetle overwinters in the soil and wakes up in April. It then feeds on leaves, buds and pollen. When the temperature rises to 12-15 degrees, it begins to lay eggs in the raspberry flowers. The larva hatches and feeds on the ripe berries. It hides inside the berry, which makes it difficult to detect before the berry is picked. The trap has two ways of attracting raspberry flies: 1. The trap looks like a large raspberry flower with white crossed “wings”, and is designed to attract the raspberry weevil. When the raspberry weevil flies into the crossed white “wings”, they fall into a funnel and underneath it is a container of soapy water that prevents the raspberry weevil from getting out. 2. It contains a scent that attracts the raspberry moth. To ensure a good catch, the specific scent for raspberry moths should be added to a special container on top of the trap. The trap comes with 1 capsule of fragrance and a special net to cover the funnel, so that bumblebees and bees do not fall down and get caught. User manual The trap should be hung 4-6 weeks before flowering (April-May). It should be hung 1-1.5 meters above the ground. Fill with water and a few drops of soap or washing-up liquid. Clean up around the trap so that it is clearly visible and easily accessible. The raspberry leafhopper can also attack early autumn raspberries. Remember to buy extra fragrance for this period, so you have full good coverage. One trap covers an area of up to 250 m2

LARVA protection 30g 150-300m² - biological control of butterfly larvae

3.100 ISK

Biological product against butterfly larvae in vegetable, berry, fruit and ornamental crops. Package of 30 grams. LARV protection is a biological product that is effective against butterfly larvae in crops of vegetables, berries, fruit and ornamental plants; for example, cabbage moth, cabbage butterfly, vegetable fly, frost butterfly, bird spider moth and fruit peeler. LAR Vskydd contains the naturally occurring bacteria Bacillus thuringiensis which acts in the larva's digestive tract after the larva has eaten treated leaves and other plant parts. LARVA protection is effective against all types of butterfly larvae. Butterfly larvae can be identified by a few characteristics: - All butterfly larvae have a head, biting mouthparts and 3 pairs of thoraxes. - On the hind body segments they also have short, soft so-called abdominal feet that resemble suction cups. The last pair of abdominal feet are sometimes called anal feet. - Butterfly larvae usually have five pairs of legs (including the anal feet). Within the family of moths, larvae have only two pairs of legs. In mining butterfly larvae, the legs are usually very small and can sometimes be missing. - If the caterpillar has 6 or more pairs of legs, it is a plant mite, and must be controlled in other ways, for example with a natural pyrethroid. Use When treating, it is important that the entire plant is covered with spray liquid so that the larva easily comes into contact with the product. The best effect is obtained if LARVA protection is used against small larvae. The larvae stop eating after a couple of hours and die after a couple of days. Larvae that are unprotected on the plant are the easiest to treat. Those that spin themselves, crawl into buds or fruits are difficult to treat. Avoid using LARVA protection in sunlight as the product is broken down by sunlight. Spray in dry weather. Rain and irrigation will wash off the product. At temperatures below 12–15 °C, the effect of LARVA protection is reduced as butterfly larvae become less active. It may take up to 2–5 days after treatment for the larvae to die. The treatment may need to be repeated, with at least 7 days between each treatment.

NEMAmulti® biological agent for controlling larvae of several types. <meta charset="utf-8">NEMAmulti is sufficient for approximately 50 m². Larger areas can be irrigated with the help of <a href="https://tradgardsdags.nu/products/birchmeier-aquanemix-1-25v-for-spridning-av-nematoder" title="Birchmeier AquaNemix 1.25V - for spreading nematodes" rel="noopener" target="_blank">the AquaNemix</a> nematode spreader. NEMAmulti<meta charset="utf-8"> ® is an effective agent against several types of larvae that contains 10 million live microorganisms, nematodes, which actively seek out specific larvae and kill them. Larvae of cabbage butterfly, gooseberry weevil, carrot fly, cabbage moth, rose petal weevil, apple weevil, sedge weevil, ear weevil and rowanberry weevil are some examples of host animals attacked by these nematodes. NEMAmulti is a biological non-toxic agent for those who want to grow non-toxic but need help getting rid of larvae that cause damage in your garden using nature's own method. These insect-parasitic nematodes actively attack specific larvae that are their host animals. They are completely harmless to children, bees and other animals and can never harm plants. How do you get rid of larvae? To get rid of larvae that attack the leaves, water/shower nematode solution onto the leaves. To get rid of larvae that attack the roots, water them into the soil. NEMAmulti should be used when there are larvae to parasitize. The nematodes must get close to their host animal, the larva, and when treating above ground, the foliage should be wet beforehand. Nematodes need about +12–13 degrees for them to be active. At lower temperatures they lie inactive until it gets warm enough again. It is also important to choose an overcast, rainy day or evening so that the nematodes have time to enter the larvae. Treated soil should be kept moist after the nematodes have been watered out for a few weeks to get the best effect. The life cycle of nematodes Nematodes actively enter the pest larvae through natural body openings and a process begins that kills the larva and turns it into a “nursery” for the nematodes. After a while, a new generation of nematodes has developed and comes out into the soil. The new nematodes actively search for new larvae that are host animals. This cycle continues as long as there are larvae in the soil. If there are no larvae to parasitize, the nematodes are in the same resting stage as when they are in an unopened package in the refrigerator, waiting to be used. The nematodes leave the resting stage as soon as they sense that there are host animals nearby and actively try to get inside the larva to reproduce. As long as the soil is kept moist, they can remain in the resting stage, how long is impossible to say and the nematodes gradually die off if they do not come into contact with any host animals. Good advice for nematode eradication A garden sprayer of about 5 liters works well if the nozzle is set so open that a shower is formed, not so closed that it becomes a mist, because then the nematodes will be damaged. A watering can with a mesh that is not too tight also works well. Most watering cans have a mesh that allows the nematodes to pass through without any problems. AquaNemix is connected to the garden hose and doses the nematodes with water directly from the tap. Important! Nematodes die at 30 degrees, do not order if it is or risks becoming very hot and sunny. Pick up the package as soon as possible when it arrives at your Post Office. NEMAmulti should be stored in the refrigerator, the shelf life is about one month, see date stamp.

Nematodes against sedges

From 5.100 ISK

Nematodes to control grasshopper larvae in the lawn. For outdoor use. In packages of 50 million or 250 million. Orders placed by Sunday evening will be shipped the following Tuesday. In the case of problems with damage to the lawn caused by grasshopper larvae, nematodes are used as biological control. Nematodes are microscopic roundworms that are watered over the area you want to treat. They are sold in packages of 50 million or 250 million nematodes, where the smaller one is enough to treat 50-100 m² of area and the larger one to 300-500 m². . Marsh thorn, Tipula paludosa, is common in Sweden. The adults hatch at the end of July and swarm on the lawn until about mid-September. During this period, egg laying takes place. Each female can lay 300-400 eggs in the grass. The eggs hatch about 14 days after they are laid, i.e. in August-September. The young larvae then crawl under the roots of the grass plants, where they begin to gnaw on fresh root tips. The larvae overwinter in the soil and usually do not cause visible damage until the following spring. Then they grow large, to a length of 3-4 cm, and have a very high need for food. The infestation is recognized by the grass dying or not having time to grow back. By examining the grass roots, you can detect a fringed gnaw there. In case of heavy infestations in the spring, gnaws can also appear on the leaves. Often, the infestation is also visible when birds discover the larvae and systematically start turning the grass over with their beaks to get to them and eat them. When the nematodes are watered into the soil, they actively search for a suitable host in the form of a sedge caterpillar. They penetrate it and infect it. Bacteria from the nematodes kill the caterpillar. The nematodes multiply inside the infected caterpillar, and then leave it to search for new larvae. Treatment times Plan your first treatment approximately 2-3 weeks after your flight. of adult harriers have been observed over the grass (=egg laying), this is usually in August/September . Nematodes can mainly control the small, newly hatched larval stages of the hogweed. Since nematodes also depend on soil heat to work, they are most effective for a short period. This is in the fall, until early September. The following spring, the larvae are often too large for the nematodes to effectively control them. Treatment can also be carried out in the spring at soil temperatures above 8°C, but then a reduced effect can be expected. User manual The contents of the bag are dissolved in water while stirring, and then watered over the surface. Use the solution with the nematodes immediately after mixing. Use the nematodes only during the appropriate treatment period to achieve an effective result. The treatment is mainly effective against the smaller larval stages of the sedge weevil. Optimal soil temperature is above 12 degrees for four weeks after treatment to ensure that the nematodes are active. At lower temperatures, or larger larval stages, a reduced effect can be expected. As the nematodes live in the water film between the soil particles, it is important that the soil is kept moist during treatment. If the treatment surface is dry, it is watered preventively before treatment. Also water after treatment to thoroughly rinse the nematodes into the soil. The surface should then be kept moist for at least two weeks after treatment. Treatment should not be carried out during heavy rain as there is a risk of washing away the nematodes. The nematodes should be watered out early in the morning, in the evening or on a cloudy day, as they are sensitive to UV light. Tip!

Nematodes against ear weevils

From 2.900 ISK

Beneficial animal for controlling ear weevil larvae. For outdoor use. In packages of 10 million or 50 million. Orders placed by Sunday evening will be shipped the following Tuesday. Nematodes (Heterorhabditis sp.) Supplied in quantities of 10 million or 50 million in a mixture of fine clay. Nematodes, also known as roundworms, are microscopically small. They are found naturally in the soil, but usually not in large enough numbers. After watering the product, the nematodes actively search the soil for earwig larvae. When a larva is found, it is infected by nematodes and dies. Infected larvae turn ochre. The dead larva then acts as a kind of “envelope” in which the nematodes reproduce. These nematodes can only live on insect larvae and therefore do not harm plants. Treatment times Since only the larval stages of ear weevil are infected by the nematodes, it is important to coordinate the timing of treatment with the ear weevil larval life cycle. In the garden and other treatment areas, treatment can be done in May/June as well as in August/September . User manual Use at a soil temperature between 12 and 25°C for effective treatment. The contents of the bag are dissolved in water and watered onto the soil near the affected plants. The soil should be kept slightly moist for a week after treatment. 10 million is enough for a treatment of approximately 10-20 m² , and 50 million to approximately 50-100 m² . Follow the fight The control of ear weevil larvae is very effective, but as the adult weevils can live for over a year, eggs will continue to be produced during the first year. Therefore, collect any adult ear weevils at night with the help of a lantern, and follow the control in the soil. 2-3 weeks after the treatment, you should be able to find dead brown larvae along the roots of the plant.

Nematodes against Garden Borers

From 5.100 ISK

Beneficial animal for controlling garden beetle larvae in the lawn. For outdoor use. In packages of 50 million or 250 million. Orders placed by Sunday evening will be shipped the following Tuesday. Garden borer larvae, Phyllopertha horticola , can cause significant damage to lawns. However, they can be controlled with the help of nematodes, microscopic roundworms, which are watered over the lawn surface. They are sold in packages of 50 million or 250 million nematodes, which is enough to treat 50-100 m² or 300-500 m² of area respectively. The adult garden borers are usually seen during May-June, and only for a short period, when they lay their eggs in the grass. Characteristic of the garden borer is that it flies low over the grass, on sunny mornings. The eggs that are laid begin to hatch from June onwards. It is the larvae that do the damage to the lawn, as they eat the roots of the grass. They grow during the season and overwinter in the soil. The following spring they pupate into a new generation of adult garden borers. The garden borer larvae feed on the roots of the grass near the surface. The grass becomes dry and yellowish and may begin to loosen from the soil surface. The larvae also attract birds and other animals, which can also destroy the lawn as they root around in the grass to find food. When the nematodes are watered into the soil, they actively search for a suitable host in the form of a garden borer larva. They penetrate it and infect it. Bacteria from the nematodes kill the larva. The nematodes multiply inside the infected larva, and then leave it to search for new larvae. Treatment times The optimal time for treatment is from late July to mid-September . During this period, the larvae are small and close to the surface at the grass roots. Treat approximately 4 weeks after observation of the adult insects , to catch the first larvae when the eggs hatch. Nematodes can primarily control the small, newly hatched larval stages of garden borers. Since nematodes also depend on soil heat to work, they are most effective for a shorter period during the summer and early fall. User manual The contents of the bag are dissolved in water while stirring, and then watered over the surface. Use the solution with the nematodes immediately after mixing. Use the nematodes only during the appropriate treatment period to achieve an effective result. The treatment is mainly effective against the smaller larval stages of the garden borer. Optimal soil temperature is above 12 degrees for four weeks after treatment to ensure that the nematodes are active . At lower temperatures, or larger larval stages, a reduced effect can be expected.

Beneficial Microterys against Pseudomonas aeruginosa

3.900 ISK

Beneficial animal against infestation by the false scale insect, Coccus hesperidum. The parasitic tick is not effective against other scale insect species, so it is important to determine the species of scale insect causing the infestation. In a pack of 25 pieces. The product cannot be ordered during the winter. Orders placed by Sunday evening will be shipped the following Tuesday. Scale infestations can be difficult to control. It is not always easy to spot scale insects as they are stuck in one place. Their colour can blend in well with the plant and hide on stems and leaf veins. The first sign of infestation is often the honeydew secreted by the scale insects. It leaves a sticky film on and around the plant, for example on the window or window sill. In the honeydew, sooty mold fungi can easily grow, which gives the plant a black coating. Scale insects suck plant sap, like other lice. The infestation can lead to discoloured leaves and stunted growth. Scale insects, unlike aphids, are immobile for almost their entire life. As small larvae, they find a suitable place on the plant where they then suck their food. Characteristic for them is the "shield" they have over their body. It protects and makes them difficult to fight. Under the shield, the female can lay up to thousands of eggs. The larvae then crawl out to find their own places on the plant to attach themselves to. There are many different species of scale insects. They can be divided into "true scale insects" and "false scale insects". The different groups are distinguished by the fact that the true scale insects have an external shield that can be removed from the body. The false scale insects do not have an external shield, instead their dorsal skin grows and hardens, forming a shield. This is attached to the louse and cannot be removed from the body. When biologically controlling scale insects, it is very important to determine which species of scale insect is causing the infestation. The beneficial insects are host-specific and will not parasitize any species other than the one they are adapted to. One of the most common scale species on houseplants is the orange wax scale, Coccus hesperidum, a so-called false scale. The "shield" is yellowish-brown transparent, often with a darker "H"-like pattern in color. It is flat and asymmetrically oval, about 3-5 mm in size. It is often located near leaf veins, but can also be found on leaf stalks and young shoots. This species generally secretes a lot of honeydew. Examples of plants it attacks are citrus plants, ivy, ficus, laurel and camellia. The host plants are often woody. For biological control of the orange wax scale, Coccus hesperidum , the parasitic wasp Microterys is used flavus / nietneri . It is an approximately 2 mm long stingray with a yellowish/brownish body and black and white striped antennae. The wasp lays eggs inside the scale insect, and the larva lives there for all five larval stages. As an adult, it then eats its way out of the scale insect through a small round hole, which can be seen from above if you look closely. The wasp lays about 10 eggs a day, during the two months that are their maximum lifespan. The adult wasps also eat the scale insect, a process known as host feeding. Microterys actively seeks out scale insects on infested plants. It takes middle and older stages of the orange wax scale insect. When Microterys is only effective against the orange wax scale, Coccus hesperidum , it is very important to identify the species of scale infesting your plants. If it is a different species of scale, Microterys will not be effective. User manual To To be able to combat Microterys effectively, certain conditions need to be met. Release should only take place between March and October. The parasitic wasp needs a long day, meaning that the day consists of more light hours than dark hours. For the stingray to be active, a temperature of at least 20 degrees is required. Temperature has a major impact on the stingray's development time. At 25°C, development from egg to adult takes about 23 days. Recommended dosage is 5-10 pieces/plant. Treatment is done 1-2 times, two weeks apart. The package is opened at the infested plants, the stingers seek out the scale insects themselves. Treat all plants that have had contact with the infested plant. For example, all those that have been in the same window. Thoroughly wash the surface where the infested plant has been, such as the windowsill and window. Follow the treatment It may be difficult to see a clear effect of the treatment, as the scale insects still remain on the plant after Microterys has parasitized it. After 10-14 days (depending on temperature), a dark ring can be distinguished on closer observation under the "shield" of the aphid. These are the excrement of the parasitic scale, which then indicates that the scale has become parasitized. At a later stage, the exit hole from the adult parasitic scale can also be discovered as a small, round hole in the "shield". In the event of successful treatment, the new shoots and petioles that are formed should be free from infestation.

Beneficial animal against mealybug/"white fly" infestation, in packs of 500 or 1000 pieces. The product cannot be ordered during the winter. Orders placed by Sunday evening will be shipped the following Tuesday. <div class="modules m-product trailing-trip" data-controller="9"> <div class="m-product m-product-additional-info"> <div class="toggle-content t-panel-clean m-product-additional-info-content"> <div class="pane active m-product-additional-info description clearfix" id="tabs-pane1"> <div class="ck-content" data-controller="description"> The parasitic wasp, Encarsia formosa , is about 1 mm long and yellow and black in color. They are delivered as pupae glued to a card, in packs of 500 or 1000. These pupae are called “black scales” and during the first week the pupae hatch by the parasitic scales gnawing their way out through a small hole. The hatched parasitic wasp actively searches for larvae of “white flies” to parasitize. They lay their eggs inside the host larvae (which are white). After about 14 days, these parasitized larvae turn black. After another 14 days, adult parasitic wasps hatch from the puparia. Encarsia formosa only lay eggs in the last larval stages of "white flies", they do not kill adults. Fully grown individuals can live up to 4 weeks and will therefore fly around and lay new eggs even if livestock has been released. It may therefore be an advantage to treat with insecticidal soap before the parasitic wasps are released. The desired temperature when setting out is above 17°C. User manual The parasitic wasp is delivered as black pupae glued to cardboard. The box with the cards is opened only when the plants are infested. Hang the cards on the plants, protected from sunlight. Follow the fight In the following weeks, there should be more and more “black pupae” on the plants in relation to the mealybug larvae. However, it may be necessary to spray the plant tops lightly with, for example, insecticidal soap to reduce the number of adults. </div> </div> </div> </div> </div>

Beneficial animal mix against aphids

2.900 ISK

A mixture of gall midges (approx. 200) and parasitic wasps (approx. 100) against aphid infestations. Orders placed by Sunday evening will be shipped the following Tuesday. Aphid gall midge (Aphidoletes aphidimyza) The mixture contains gall midge pupae. From the pupae, adult gall midges hatch and fly out to find colonies of aphids, where they lay small red eggs. When the eggs hatch, a reddish larva (about 5 mm long) emerges. It is a real predator that kills and sucks out a large number of aphids. After about a week, it pupates in the soil, where it remains for 14 days, and so a new cycle of gall midges continues. The aphid parasitic weevil ( Aphidius colemani ) The parasitic wasp is delivered as a mixture of cocoons and adult parasitic wasps. The parasitic wasp searches for aphids and lays eggs inside them. After about 10 days, the aphid swells up and turns into a gray-brown cocoon, remaining attached to the plant. It almost resembles papier-mâché. After about 2 weeks, a new parasitic wasp gnaws its way out of the cocoon and is ready to find new aphids. User manual In case of heavy infestations, it is advantageous to give the plant a good shower of water or insecticidal soap before releasing the beneficial insects. The box with beneficial insects is first opened outside in the greenhouse near the infested plants. Place the box under the plants in the shade, for example under a clay pot (with holes in it). From here the insects take over the control. Follow the fight The larvae of the aphid gall midge leave dead, sucked aphid shells, which can be seen on the plant. Cocoons of parasitized aphids from the parasitic wasp are visible after about 14 days. If you look at the parasitized aphid with a magnifying glass, you can see a hole. This is a newly hatched parasitic wasp that has cut itself out of the aphid.
