Product Overview

Koppert Spidex 100 ml (310) is a unique product that's specially made to effectively control Tetranychus urticae or commonly known as two spotted spider mites, particularly during younger stages. It works when predatory mites and nymphs hunt for their prey and suck them dry which turns the adult red spider mite's color from brown to black. It may be spotted as little black dots on the leaves but it shouldn't be confused with light brown to dark red live spider mites. It's very easy to use, simply spread it on leaves or spill into DIBOX (application boxes). It can also be scattered using AIRBUG mite blower for lower crops. This comes in a 500 ml bottle which contains 2,000 Phytoseiulus persimilis adults (Predatory Mites) mixed with wood chips.
