SPIDEX BOOST - 250 Quick Release Phytoseiulus Persimilis Predatory Mites
Use SPIDEX BOOST as a curative on the two-spotted spider mites in grow rooms where you do not want bran material in the crop.
Phytoseiulus Persimilis feeds on all stages of spider mites but has a preference for eggs. The predatory mites pierce the eggs and consume the contents. Adult Phytoseiulus persimilis also attack adult spider mites but the smaller development stages only feed on smaller prey stages. The larvae do not eat. The predatory mite can only survive on two spotted spider mites (Tetranychus spp.). Spidex Boost does not contain a rearing system that produces several generations of predatory mites over time.
Instructions:
- Introduce sachets as soon as possible after receipt
- Hang up sachets in sheltered positions in the crop (no direct sunlight).
- IMPORTANT - Ensure that you create a sufficient exit opening for the mites prior to placing sachets in the crop (a small hole or cut can be made in the upper portion of the sachet, close to the cardboard hook).
- Handle sachets by the cardboard strip at the top; predatory mites are easily damaged
- Relative humidity should be above 70% and the temperature above 20°C/68°F for at least some hours of the day
