Phytoline biological control agent contains the predatory mite, Phytoseiulus persimilis. This well-known predator will eat large numbers of two-spotted mite, Tetranychus urticae. It is a standard treatment in many crops, particularly tomatoes, cucumbers, strawberries and ornamentals.
Key Features
>> Recommended for spider mite control on a wide range of crops.
>> Adults and young stages feed voraciously on adults and eggs of the two spotted spider-mite.
>> Controls spider mites resistant to acaricides.
>> Transparent containers allow growers to observe mites for quality control.
Main uses
>> Two-spotted spider mite (TSSM)
How It Works
>> Adults and young stages feed voraciously on all two-spotted spider mite life stages.
>> Effective at wide temperature range above 57°F/14°C and can be used outdoors as well.
>> At temperatures over 86°F/30°C, spider mite growth rate will overtake that of Phytoseiulus.
>> Less active at low light levels but will not go into diapause.
