How to use

Apply Thripex directly throughout the crop, distributing the loose material according to the recommended biological control programme.

Once introduced, Neoseiulus cucumeris actively searches the crop for suitable thrips larvae and feeds primarily on the first and second larval stages.

For effective management, introduce the predatory mites according to pest pressure and the requirements of the crop.

Follow the product-specific guidance for application rate, distribution, introduction frequency and suitable crop and environmental conditions.
