Product details
Spidex Vital GO 250 Sachets is a biological pest control containing Phytoseiulus persimilis, a fast-acting predatory mite used for targeted control of two-spotted spider mite (Tetranychus urticae).
Unlike loose applications of Phytoseiulus persimilis, Spidex Vital GO uses a breeding sachet system. The predatory mites multiply within the sachets and are continuously released into the crop over a number of weeks, providing a sustained supply of predators for ongoing spider mite control.
Phytoseiulus persimilis is a highly specialised spider mite predator that feeds on all life stages of two-spotted spider mite, including eggs, larvae, nymphs and adults. Its relatively long legs allow it to move rapidly across spider mite webbing and effectively search for prey.
A key feature of the Spidex Vital range is the visible colour change after feeding. The predatory mites are initially white and turn red after consuming spider mites, due to the different food on which they are raised. This provides a useful visual indication that the predators have found spider mites and are actively feeding.
Spidex Vital GO can be incorporated into an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programme for sustained biological control of two-spotted spider mite in suitable crops.
