Video: Spider Mite Control with Predatory Mites (Phytoseiulus persimilis)
The predatory mite Phytoseiulus persimilis is a highly effective biological control agent for spider mite infestations. As the first company to introduce this natural enemy, Koppert has been a pioneer in sustainable crop protection.
How does Phytoseiulus work?
•Adult mites feed on all life stages of spider mites.
•Nymphs consume spider mite eggs, larvae, and protonymphs.
•Although blind, Phytoseiulus detects spider mites by sensing webbing and leaf damage.
•It eliminates its prey by sucking out the contents, leaving only the empty skin behind.
Why use Phytoseiulus for spider mite control?
•High predation rate ensures rapid spider mite suppression.
•Fast life cycle leads to effective population growth.
•100% natural solution for sustainable pest control.
