UniMite Air

The even and efficient distribution of predatory mites 

The conveyor belt in the 5 liter storage bunker means there is always an even release of material. This results in a uniform distribution of predatory mites and Power Food over the crop. As with the UniMite Disc, the bio-distribution system for chrysanthemum and other crops, the storage bunker is transparent so that the stock in the hopper is visible. The UniMite Air can be installed on a pipe rail system or on a monorail system.

Unimite Air Helps Keep Thrips Under Control at SK Roses

"Since the end of 2019, we have been working with a biological approach; we scatter montdorensis predatory mites with Powerfood feeding mites. We didn't get enough thrips control control that first year, however.  With Royal Brinkman's Bio spreader, thrips control is going well now. And we did not chemically correct against thrips in 2020 until week 36." Speaking is Bas Koene, rose grower in De Lier. "Thrips cause visible damage in roses to the flower bud. Spots appear on the petals, then the flower becomes damaged and is no longer A1 quality." Bas Koene says that their approach in the past did not work well to control thrips. In addition to the use of predatory mites, chemical controls were necessary. " Too often we had to correct with chemicals, and even that was insufficient. It also inhibited growth and we wanted to get rid of that."
