Description

Control red spider mites in the greenhouse with an application of natural Phytoseiulus persimilis mite predators.

Supplied in a ready-to-use bottle, all you need to do is rotate and gently shake the contents directly onto the infested leaves. The predatory mites will immediately begin to feed on all stages of the spider mite life cycle, from egg through to adult.

As their life cycle is faster than the mites they are feeding on, in suitable conditions they can double their population every two days, consuming around 5 adults and 20 young larvae per day. This leads to a rapid decline in the spider mite population and a dramatic reduction in plant damage.

To encourage a colony for long-term plant protection, you can also apply the predators using distribution boxes which act as small breeding sites and can be hung onto stems or leaves. Full instructions are provided.

For best results, use in temperatures between 15 and 25 degrees and humidity of around 70% when Phytoseiulus will be most effective. If conditions are too dry, predators will move to the bottom of the plant seeking moisture rather than targeting spider mites.

Based on an average plant of 1m in height, we recommend applying 500 Phytoseiulus per plant. For severe infestations, where leaves show signs of webbing and yellow splotches, we advise doubling this rate and applying spot treatments to areas with large numbers of spider mite.

Key features:

  • Natural biological pest control
  • Quick and easy to apply
  • Enough to treat 2-6 plants
