Product information
Phytoline is a biological control that contains a predatory mite called Phytoseiulus persimilis. It is a well-known predator that eats large numbers of two spotted mite/spider mites. Phytoline is a standard treatment for professional growers and used in treatments for tomatoes, cucumbers, strawberries and ornamentals among others.
How it works
Both adult and young stages of Phytoline mites will feast on all two-spotted spider mite life stages.
How to use
Phytoline is effective at wide temperature range above 14ºC and can also be used outdoors. If temperatures reach higher than 30ºC, the spider mite growth rate will be larger and quicker than the predator so aim to keep temperature below 30ºC.
There will be less activity at low light levels but that will not affect the process to much.
Distribute mites evenly across leaves infested with spider mite.
