Limonica Ulti-Mite - Predatory mite Amblydromalus Limonicus
500 sachets. Each sachet contains 125 predatory mites (nymphs and adults) in millet husks, bran, and sawdust
Target Pest
Larvae of various species of thrips (first and second larval stages); Eggs and larvae of greenhouse whitefly (Trialeurodes vaporariorum) and cotton whitefly (Bemisia tabaci).
How It Works
Predatory mites reproduce within the sachet and gradually disperse into the crop over a period of several weeks. Using their piercing mouthparts, they feed on prey by extracting its contents. The Ulti-Mite slow-release sachet, made from 100% industrially compostable film, provides consistent pest control, even under extremely dry or humid conditions. Use Limonica in a wide range of salad and ornamental crops, except tomato.
Suggested Application Rate
The dosage of Limonica Ulti-Mite depends on climate, crop and pest density and should always be adjusted to the particular situation. Start introduction preventively or as soon as the first pest mites are detected in the crop. Use at least 3,000 sachets per hectare and hang them evenly spaced in the crop. Release should be repeated after 4 weeks if the pest is not controlled.
Instructions for Use
Hang sachets in sheltered locations in the crop, away from direct sunlight. Do not open sachets — each has a pre-punched exit hole. Hold sachets by the cardboard strip to avoid damage.
