The Koppert Limonica 100 ml (560) holds Amblydromalus limonicus predatory mites (nymphs and adults) in millet husks, bran and sawdust. It feeds on the larvae of various thrips species, and it targets the eggs and larvae of glasshouse and cotton whiteflies in all larval stages. A predatory mite works by earnestly searching for a prey or by waiting for it to pass by. Once found, the mite will immediately suck the target specie until dry.
Limonica can be used as a preventive, curative light or heavy curative treatment. It fits to wide range of salad and ornamental crops, except for tomatoes. To use, turn and shake the bottle gently before administration. Carefully sprinkle material on the leaves and make sure that it will remain for some hours after introduction. Distribute evenly over the total surface area. A minimum of 5,000 release points are ideal per hectare. Once purchased, product comes in 100 ml bottle. Per bottle contains 12,500 predatory mites.
IMPORTANT: These are live organisms that are shipped directly from the manufacturer via UPS Next Day Air so they do not die during transit. A physical address is required for UPS to deliver your package. These are only shipped twice a week:
