ABSTRACT:
The compositions of the invention are the in-situ prepared spray coated beneficial insects, which may be the beneficial insect alone, or within the confines of a host. The method of making the compositions of this invention relates to the mixing of a binder solution with a predertermined quantity of a beneficial pest for either direct delivery onto a plant or the collection thereof onto a substrate for strategic relocation in futuro. All of these activities can be carried out by introducing the beneficial insects into a hopper, metering the addition thereof into an airstream using a spur gear or other limiting device, introducing mucilage or some other non-lethal binder onto the moving insects and ejecting the binder coated insects into an airstream for delivery to a target, a specific plant, or to a piece of paper or other stratum.
