Atheta-System

The solution against harmful soil insects

• The rove beetle Atheta coriaria
• A slender and light to dark brown biological control agent
• Efficient biological control agent of e.g. larvae of the fungus gnats, shore fly and springtails, eggs and larvae of moth flies and pupae of thrips

• The adult predatory beetles are optimally spread, thanks to their good flight capacity
• Actively search for prey in the soil
• Smooth adaptation to various substrates such as potting soil, coconut and rock wool

• Both adults and larvae are good predators
• They are attracted by the smell of affected plants or by other organic material, in which prey is present
• The predatory beetles consume 10 to 20 prey a day
• They do not go into diapause in covered crops

• Herbs and ornamental plants in pots
• Propagation of seedlings and cuttings
