Amblyseius andersoni

Predatory mite in the family Phytoseiidae.

Amblyseius andersoni is used to control various phytophagous mites: spider mite, russet mite, red fruit mite, etc. Indirectly controls thrips, but it is not Andersoni’s priority prey. In the absence of natural prey on plants, it can feed on plant pollen. Entomophage finds application on garden, berry, ornamental and vegetable crops. This is a small parasitic morphic mite up to 1 mm in size with a light beige translucent colour.
