How to use

Place the Thripex-Plus sachets throughout the crop according to the recommended biological control programme.

The sachets provide a continuous release of Neoseiulus cucumeris over a number of weeks, allowing predatory mites to disperse into the surrounding crop and search for thrips larvae.

Once released, the mites feed primarily on first and second instar thrips larvae.

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