How Swirski Ulti - Mite works
Adult predatory mites search for their prey or wait for it to pass by and subsequently feed on their prey.
Application Swirski Ulti-Mite
-
Use sachets as soon as possible after receipt
-
Hang sachets in sheltered locations on the crop (no direct sunlight).
-
Sachets can be placed directly into the crop (sachets already have an exit hole)
-
Handle sachets by the cardboard strip at the top; predatory mites are easily damaged
-
Use Swirski Ulti - Mite as a preventive method and when the first signs of a pest appear.
Best working conditions Swirski Ulti - Mite
The predatory mite is not susceptible to diapause and therefore can also be introduced during the winter time. It is tolerant to high temperatures; a swirskii population starts to develop when the temperatures during the day regularly exceed 20-22°C.
Handling
Biological beneficials have a very short life expectancy and therefore need to be introduced into the crop as soon as possible after receipt. Failure to do so can have a negative impact on their quality. In case you do need to store Swirski Ulti - Mite, please follow the instructions below.
Storage
-
After receipt: 1-2 days
