Stratiolaelaps Scimitus
Stratiolaelaps scimitus (macro predatory mites) provide effective biological control against fungus gnat larvae, thrips pupae, and shore fly larvae. Ideal for use in ornamentals, mushrooms, greenhouse vegetables, and open field crops. These mites also survive on algae and plant debris, making them excellent for preventive pest management.
Application
To apply the product using the cylinder, gently shake it to mix the mites inside. Then, slowly tap the open cylinder while walking between the rows of crops to release the mites near the base of the plants. Try to spread them evenly on the soil or on rock wool blocks, and do this in a shady area if possible. How much and how often you release the mites depends on the type of crop, how bad the pest problem is, the weather, and how much damage the crop can handle. You may need to release more mites later based on what you see during crop checks.Storage
