[0002] Green organic blueberry cultivation faces serious challenges in pest and disease control. Thrips, among them, can reduce blueberry yields by more than 50%, and in severe cases, even completely eliminate the entire crop. Although studies have confirmed that Amblyseius skrjabini is effective in controlling thrips in blueberries, existing release methods have significant drawbacks: Manual spreading in bottles is easily affected by human and environmental factors, resulting in uneven distribution of Amblyseius skrjabini and low survival rate. The residual leaves in the wheat bran medium block photosynthesis and moisture induces sooty mold. Furthermore, labor efficiency is low and costs are high. The improved release bags / cups still rely on manual hanging. The food in the container can easily cause the retention of Amblyseius Swirljung, delaying the pest control effect. It is also easy to mold and become infected with fungi when it gets damp, and the potential for control of Amblyseius Swirljung cannot be fully realized. There is an urgent need for special devices that are adapted to the growth characteristics of blueberry bushes with many branches and can achieve precise release. Summary of the Invention

[0018] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0019] The present invention provides Figure 1-Figure 3 The device for releasing Amblyseius skrjabini from blueberries includes a release bag 1 having a plurality of pre-cuts 2 formed thereon. The pre-cuts 2 form a plurality of bag bodies 11 formed from a breathable and flexible material. The pore size of the bag bodies 11 is 0.3-0.5 mm. The top opening of the bag body 11 is provided with an extension end 12 and a fixed end 13, an inner sealing member 14 is provided between the extension end 12 and the fixed end 13, the end of the extension end 12 is bent downward and is located outside the fixed end 13, and an outer sealing member 15 is provided between the downwardly bent portion of the extension end 12 and the outside of the fixed end 13; A connecting end 16 is provided at the top of the bend of the extension end 12 , and a through-hole 17 is provided through the connecting end 16 . A hanging component is provided in the through-hole 17 . The release bag 1 is fixed to the support structure of the blueberry planting area by using the through-hole 17 and the hanging component.
[0020] The pre-cut marks 2 allow users to freely cut the length of the release bag 1 according to the length of the blueberry planting row and the manual / mechanical operation method, adapting to the needs of all gardens and solving the problem of "fixed size cannot adapt to different planting scenarios" of traditional release devices; the bag body 11 is a breathable and flexible material with a pore size of 0.3-0.5mm, which ensures that the Amblyseius skrjabini mite can crawl out and spread naturally, and avoids the problem of residual leaves in the wheat bran medium blocking photosynthesis and moisture inducing sooty mold disease in traditional bottled application.
[0021] The inner sealing part 14 realizes the prefabricated seal of the manufacturer to prevent the escape of mites during transportation. The outer sealing part 15 can be activated by the user as needed, adapting to the different fixing requirements of "with or without park wire", taking into account the transportation sealing and field flexibility; the perforation 17 cooperates with the hanging component to firmly fix the release bag 1 to the blueberry support structure, adapting to the growth characteristics of blueberry bushes with many branches, and avoiding uneven distribution of mites caused by falling off due to wind.
[0022] The breathable, flexible material of the bag body 11 can be a degradable non-woven fabric or breathable cotton and linen. The degradable non-woven fabric / breathable cotton and linen material requires no recycling and naturally degrades without leaving any environmental residue. This addresses the issues with traditional release devices, which often require recycling, increase labor costs, and contaminate the farm with residual material, reducing subsequent management costs for blueberry production. Both breathable materials maintain a stable pore size of 0.3-0.5mm, ensuring smooth exit of the Amblyseius stephensija mite and preventing the entry of foreign matter. Furthermore, their excellent moisture resistance prevents the mite mortality associated with traditional release cups due to moisture, mold, and contamination, thereby improving mite survival efficiency in the field.
[0023] The inner and outer sealing members 14, 15 are configured as adhesive strips, paper tape, vegetable wax coatings, or magnetic strips, and are 2 cm wide. The 2 cm width of the sealing member ensures a strong seal. The inner sealing member 14 tightly seals the bag 11, preventing the escape of Amblyseius stephensi mites or leakage of the medium during transport. Once activated, the outer sealing member 15 securely secures the bag 11 with the wire, preventing the bag 11 from opening and causing premature mites to escape. Various materials, such as adhesive strips and vegetable wax coatings, are suitable for different environments. For example, the vegetable wax coating is moisture-resistant and can be used in rainy blueberry farms, resolving the problem of traditional release bags failing to seal when exposed to moisture. The magnetic strip facilitates quick opening and closing, improving field operation efficiency and reducing manual operation complexity.
[0024] according to Figure 4 As shown, the hanging component is further configured as a hanging wire 3, which is inserted between multiple perforations 17. For blueberry orchards without "wire for adjusting and controlling plant growth," the hanging wire 3 can be inserted into the multiple perforations 17, and its ends can be directly wrapped around the shed support for fixation, eliminating the need for additional hook structures and reducing the cost of park facilities. The multiple perforations 17 and the hanging wire 3 ensure that the release bag 1 remains horizontal and stable, avoiding the problem of tilting the bag body 11 due to a single perforation 17, which can prevent the mite from concentrating on one side and preventing uniform distribution. This improves the uniformity of the distribution of Amblyseius skrjabini among blueberry plants and accelerates pest control.
[0025] according to Figure 5-Figure 7 As shown, the hanging component is further configured as a hook assembly 4, which comprises a main body 41, a buckle 42, a screw 43, and a hook 44. The buckle 42 is mounted on the bottom of the main body 41 and connected to the through-hole 17. The screw 43 is threadedly connected to the interior of the main body 41, and the top of the screw 43 extends outward and connects to the hook 44. Suitable for blueberry farms with existing greenhouses and control wires, the hook 44 can be directly hung on the existing wire without the need for additional fixing structures, utilizing the farm's existing facilities to reduce operating costs. The buckle 42 quickly connects to the through-hole 17, improving field hanging efficiency and solving the problem of "manual hanging" of traditional release cups that is time-consuming and labor-intensive. The screw 43 can adjust the overall length of the hook assembly 4, facilitating the adjustment of the release bag 1 height according to the distance between the blueberry plant and the wire, ensuring that the bag body 11 is "close to the leaves but not tightly attached," shortening the spread path of the Amblyseius skrjabini mite and improving pest control efficiency.
[0026] A rotating block 45 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the hook 44, and the rotating block 45 is rotatably connected to the main body 41. The rotating block 45 can drive the hook 44 to flexibly adjust the angle to adapt to the different wire orientations in the blueberry farm. This avoids the problem of the release bag 1 being blocked by branches due to the fixed wire orientation, preventing the mites from spreading smoothly to the leaves. The adjustable angle allows the release bag 1 to always maintain the optimal position "close to the leaves". Even if the farm wire installation deviates, it can be corrected by rotating the hook 44, improving the adaptability of the device to different farm facilities and ensuring stable pest control effects.
[0027] according to Figure 8 As shown, the release bag 1 is further provided with a packaging box 5, which includes a box body 51 and a cover body 52. The cover body 52 is installed on the top of the box body 51, and the release bag 1 is placed in the internal cavity formed between the box body 51 and the cover body 52. The closed cavity formed by the box body 51 and the cover body 52 provides an independent protective space for the release bag 1, preventing the release bag 1 from being squeezed or damaged during transportation, which may cause mite leakage or scattering of the medium, and solves the problem of "high loss during transportation without dedicated packaging" in traditional packaging. The internal cavity can accommodate release bags 1 in batches, facilitating large-scale transportation and reducing logistics costs. At the same time, it prevents friction between release bags 1 that may cause the sealing parts to fail, ensuring that the release bags 1 transported to the field can be used normally.
[0028] Box 51 is made of transparent plastic, and lid 52 is provided with a through-hole 53. The transparent plastic box 51 allows users to observe the condition of the internal release bag 1 and the survival status of the Amblyseius skrjabini mites before and after transport, allowing for timely detection of problems such as damage and mildew, thereby avoiding pest control failures caused by the use of ineffective devices. The vents 53 ensure air circulation inside and outside the packaging box 5, resolving the problem of "hypoxia leading to mass mite mortality" in traditional sealed transport, improving the survival rate of Amblyseius skrjabini mites during transport, and ensuring that sufficient mites are released in the field to meet pest control requirements.
[0029] A 300-mesh nylon mesh is installed in the vent 53. The 300-mesh nylon mesh not only ensures air circulation through the vent 53 and maintains sufficient oxygen within the packaging box 5, but also effectively prevents Amblyseius skrjabini from escaping through the vent 53, resolving the problem of "combining ventilation and escape prevention" and ensuring the precise number of mites transported to the field. The nylon mesh also prevents external dust and impurities from entering the packaging box 5, preventing contamination of the release bag 1 and the internal medium, preventing mites from contracting diseases due to contact with impurities, and further improving the mite's survival efficiency in the field.
[0030] A method for using a device for releasing Amblyseius skrjabini on blueberries, comprising the following steps: S1. Cut the release bag 1 along the pre-cut mark 2 to obtain a release bag 1 of suitable length according to the row length and operation mode of the blueberry planting area; S2, using the perforations 17 and the hanging components to fix the release bag 1 to the support structure of the blueberry planting area; S3, adjusting the hanging height of the release bag 1 so that the release bag 1 is close to the blueberry leaves but not tightly attached; S4. Using the bag 11 made of breathable and flexible material, the Amblyseius skrjabini inside the bag can naturally spread to the blueberry plants.
[0031] The pre-cut marks 2 allow users to freely cut the length of the release bag 1 according to the length of the blueberry planting row and the manual / mechanical operation method, adapting to the needs of all gardens and solving the problem of "fixed size cannot adapt to different planting scenarios" of traditional release devices; the bag body 11 is a breathable and flexible material with a pore size of 0.3-0.5mm, which ensures that the Amblyseius skrjabini mite can crawl out and spread naturally, and avoids the problem of residual leaves in the wheat bran medium blocking photosynthesis and moisture inducing sooty mold disease in traditional bottled application.
[0032] The inner sealing part 14 realizes the prefabricated seal of the manufacturer to prevent the escape of mites during transportation. The outer sealing part 15 can be activated by the user as needed, adapting to the different fixing requirements of "with or without park wire", taking into account the transportation sealing and field flexibility; the perforation 17 cooperates with the hanging component to firmly fix the release bag 1 to the blueberry support structure, adapting to the growth characteristics of blueberry bushes with many branches, and avoiding uneven distribution of mites caused by falling off due to wind.
[0033] Working Principle: The bag body 11 is made of 0.3-0.5mm biodegradable non-woven fabric / breathable cotton and linen, and is simultaneously processed with pre-cut marks 2, perforations 17, inner sealing members 14, and outer sealing members 15. A packaging machine (not shown) is then used to add Amblyseius skrjabini and medium food into the bag. After being sealed with the inner sealing member 14, the bag is placed in a packaging box 5 with a vent 53 to prevent the mites from escaping and dying from lack of oxygen during transportation, thereby ensuring the mite survival rate.
[0034] According to the length of the blueberry planting row and the operation method, the release bag 1 is cut along the pre-cut mark 2 to obtain a bag body 11 of an appropriate length; if the farm has a control wire, the buckle 42 of the hook component 4 is inserted into the through hole 17, and the angle of the screw rod 43 and the hook 44 is adjusted before hanging on the wire; if the farm does not have a control wire, the outer sealing member 15 is activated, and the hanging wire 3 is passed through the through hole 17, and the two ends are wrapped around the shed bracket to secure it; thirdly, the height of the release bag 1 is adjusted so that it is close to the blueberry leaves but not tightly attached; The bag body 11 of the release bag 1 is made of 0.3-0.5mm breathable material. The internal Amblyseius sternii can naturally crawl out of the bag body 11 and evenly spread to the leaves of the blueberry plants, achieving precise prevention and control of thrips without the need for manual auxiliary spreading, reducing mite losses caused by human factors.
[0035] Finally, it should be noted that the above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention.
