How to use

Introduce Macro-Mite directly to the growing media where Macrocheles robustulus can establish and search for prey.

Distribute the predatory mites across the treatment area, concentrating on areas where sciarid fly larvae, thrips pupae or other susceptible soil-dwelling pests are likely to occur.

Macro-Mite can be incorporated into preventative and curative biological control programmes. Follow the product-specific guidance for application rates, frequency and crop conditions.
