How to use

Introduce Spidex directly into crops where two-spotted spider mite is present, distributing the predatory mites throughout the treatment area.

Pay particular attention to areas where spider mite activity has been detected so that Phytoseiulus persimilis can quickly locate its prey.

Monitor spider mite populations and predator activity following introduction, making further releases where required according to the biological control programme.

Follow the product-specific guidance for application rates, release frequency and suitable crop and environmental conditions.
