NIC in Conjuncture with Applied Bio-Nomics would like to introduce you to Anystis baccarum or Crazee Mite.
An exciting new insect that will become a valuable addition to your IPM program. Anystis baccarum is a generalist predator and preys on several greenhouse pests such as, thrips, spider mites and aids in suppressing aphids. As a generalist predator, Anystis also preys on Echinothrips and mealybugs for which very few bio-control options exist. Research conducted by Vineland has shown that thrip control by Anystis baccarum exceeds other known bio-control agents and when used in conjuncture with Neoeiulus cucumeris provides the greatest control. Please contact us directly for further information about this exciting new predator.
