Nesiline contains the predatory bug Nesidiocoris Tenuis which is a highly active polyphagous predator that feeds on mainly whitefly, but it can engulf other species of Lepidoptera, devouring their eggs and larvae.

The Nesidiocoris tenuis bug passes from egg to 5 intermediate stages as a larva, until it finally reaches the adult maturity. The cycle is completed in approximately 30-35 days, depending on the environmental temperature.

Orius larvae are green or yellow in color with pale antennae striped with black. Adults are colored green and have wings to fly.

Nesidiocoris nymphs and adults are very active and voracious. Once released, they tirelessly search for their food. It prefers eggs and small larvae, but will not hesitate to attack any state of whitefly. Nesidiocoris Tenuis is supplied in a pot containing 500 adults.

How to use:

• The best results are obtained when the number of pests is low.
• Keep the tube in a horizontal position in a cool place away from direct sunlight or sources of heat.
• It should be applied first thing in the morning
• Before opening, gently rock the tube to distribute predators evenly among the support material inside the tube.
• Sprinkle small amounts of Anderline on the crop on the leaves.
• Turn from time to time to homogenize subsequent releases.
• Tenuis lay a large proportion of eggs on the lateral stems, so it is important to coordinate the release with the pruning / detail moments to avoid the loss of eggs, delaying or advancing it.
