Use For

All species of spider mites.

How it works

After emerging from the pupa, adult gall-midges actively search for spider mite colonies and deposit eggs next to the spider mites. Once emerged, the larvae feed on the spider mites.

Visual effect

Spider mites are consumed entirely, only skin remains.

Dosage

The dosage of Spidend depends on climate, crop and spider mite density and should always be adjusted to the particular situation. Start introduction as soon as the first spider mites are detected in the crop. Introduction rates typically range from 0.25-25 per m2/release. Releases should be repeated at least 3 times at weekly intervals, or until the pest is controlled. Consult a Koppert advisor or a recognized distributor of Koppert products for advice on the best strategy for your situation.

Environmental conditions

Optimal results are achieved in a humid environment (>80% relative humidity) and at temperatures between 20 and 27°C (68 and 81°F).

Committed to Nature

Natural Enemies produces sustainable cultivation solutions for food crops and ornamental plants. Together with growers and in partnership with nature, we work to make agriculture and horticulture healthier, safer, more productive and resilient. We achieve this by using natural enemies to combat pest infestations, bumblebees for natural pollination, and biostimulants that support and strengthen the crops both above and underground. Restoring and protecting vital ecosystems in a natural way is the basis for healthy crops and a balanced environment. Add our quality know-how and consultancy services to this and you will understand why an increasing number of growers regards us as a partner with whom they can realize their ambitions.
