  • Publication number: 20240306628
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a system for dispersing live biological control agents, comprising a reservoir of live biological control agents in liquid phase, a source of compressed air, a nozzle comprising a tip, the biological control agent line having a liquid phase outlet for a liquid phase jet to exit the tip in a main direction, and the compressed air line having at least one air outlet, the tip comprising a wall, the liquid phase outlet being defined by an opening in the wall of the tip, the one or more air outlets being arranged in the wall of the tip, the shape of the wall being configured to direct a flow of main air exiting the one or more air outlets in a converging manner towards the liquid phase jet.

  • Patent number: 11638417
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a biological control composition comprising at least arthropod biological control agents and astigmatid mite eggs. The invention also relates to the use of astigmatid mite eggs as a nutrient source for arthropod biological control agents. The invention also relates to a biological control composition comprising at least one population of arthropod biological control agents, a nutrient source comprising astigmatid mite eggs, and optionally, a support and/or dissemination substrate. Finally, the present invention further relates to a method for rearing arthropods from astigmatid mite eggs as a nutrient source.
