Phytoline - Phytoseiulus Persimilis

Phytoline contains the predatory mite,Phytoseiulus persimilis. This species is a highly active hunter and has become a standard spider mite (Tetranychus urticae)treatment in many crops. It develops twice as fast as the spider mite at humidity levels that are above 60% (unfavorable to spider mites), which allows a rapid control of outbreaks. A femalePhytoseiuluscan destroy ten spider mite females and their progeny in just seven days under optimum conditions. It is less effective on Carmine mite (T. cinnabarinus).

Target Pests

• Two-spotted spider mite (TSSM)
• Carmine mite (cinnabarinus)

• 成人和你ng stages feed voraciously on all two-spotted spider mite life stages
• Effective at wide temperature range above 57°F (14°C) and can be used indoor and outdoors
• At temperatures over 86°F(30°C), spider mite growth rate will overtake that of Phytoseiulus
• Less active at low light levels but will not go into diapause.
