Packaging:
Each sachet – with a hook – contains 100 predatory mites and stock mites (all stages) in carrier material. Spical Ulti-Mite is available in boxes of 500 sachets.
The sachet is made of a 100% industrially compostable foil. As the foil meets the standard for 'industrial compostability' (certified by an external body), the sachets can be disposed of as crop waste.
The sachet provides a better environment for the rearing system of predatory mite Neoseiulus californicus. It can therefore build up its population in the sachet more rapidly and effectively. Compared to regular sachets, Spical Ulti-Mite performs up to three times better.
When to use Spical Ulti-Mite?
Use Spical Ulti-Mite for biological control of:
two spotted spider mite (Tetranychus urticae)
fruit tree red spider mite, also known as European red mite (Panonychus ulmi)
citrus red mite (Panonynchus citri)
broad mite (Polyphagotarsonemus latus)
cyclamen mite (Tarsonemus pallidus)
Introduce Spical Ulti-Mite when the pest is to be expected or first signs of pest presence is visible. Use Spidex for hotspot treatments.
How does Spical Ulti-Mite work?
Adult predatory mites, nymphs and larvae actively search and consume their prey.
