Thripor-L 2,000 is a biological pest control containing 2,000 Orius laevigatus predatory bugs for targeted control of thrips and other small, soft-bodied pests.

Orius laevigatus is an active predator that hunts and feeds on thrips across all life stages, making it a useful complement to predatory mite species that primarily target younger thrips larvae.

Thripor-L is effective against common thrips species including western flower thrips (Frankliniella occidentalis) and onion thrips (Thrips tabaci). Its piercing mouthparts also allow it to prey on a wider range of thrips and other suitable soft-bodied pests.

In glasshouse environments, Orius laevigatus can be used alongside Transeius montdorensis predatory mites to target more challenging thrips species, particularly those with larger first and second instar larvae or species that pupate on the leaf rather than dropping from the plant. These include glasshouse thrips (Heliothrips haemorrhoidalis), impatiens or poinsettia thrips (Echinothrips americanus) and Japanese flower thrips (Thrips setosus).

Its ability to target different thrips life stages makes Thripor-L a versatile addition to an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programme in suitable crops.
