Phytoseiulus persimilis
This product is shipped on bean leaves with Spider Mites. It is the fastest method of eradication, as the persimilis are in a balanced sex ratio and the culture is in a logarithmic growth phase. The normal ratio of Spider Mite to persimilis is about 3 to 1, but custom ratios can be created such as the “Phyto-combi” (20 to 1 ratio), a modified “pest in first” product developed by our Dutch distributor, Benfried.
This product “hits the ground running” with pregnant females, fully mated and fed. It typically achieves control 7 to 10 days before the granular version.
Trays are 24 ounces and contain about 70 leaflets, with a mobile count of at least 2500 persimilis.
