How to use

Distribute Thripex Vermiculite directly throughout the crop as a loose application, following the recommended biological control programme.

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

Ensure the product is distributed appropriately throughout the treatment area to introduce the predatory mites where they are required.

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