Biological Services

Biological Services produces and supplies insect and mite predators and parasites to control a range of pests, mostly in horticultural crops.

All biological control agents are produced in our insectary at Loxton, South Australia. We supply these beneficial mites and insects to customers in all parts of Australia, where they are used in various situations from greenhouses to perennial outdoor plantings.

At present we commercially produce Aphytis for Red Scale, Encarsia and Eretmocerus for Greenhouse Whitefly, T. occidentalis and N. californicus for Two Spotted Mite, Aphidius and Aphelinus for Aphids, Cucumeris for Thrips, Dalotia for Shoreflies/Fungus Gnats/Thrips, Hypoaspis M for Fungus Gnats and Hypoaspis A for Thrips/Bulb Mites. In addition we sell a range of other insect-related products such as delta traps, pheromones and hand lenses.

A research program to identify and further develop new biocontrol agents is ongoing.
