How it works
Mode of action
Predatory mites multiply in the sachet and disperse into the crop over a period of a couple of weeks. They pierce the prey with their sucking mouthparts and suck out the contents.

Application
- Hang sachets in and around first spider mite hotspots, in sheltered locations in the crop, not exposed to direct sunlight.
- In tomato only use Spidex Vital Go in hotspots
- Sachets already have an exit hole
- Hold sachets by the cardboard strip at the top, to avoid damaging the predatory mites

The dosage of Spidex Vital Go depends on climate, crop and pest density and should always be adjusted to the particular situation. Release should be repeated biweekly if the pest is not controlled.
