Introduction

  •     Turn and shake the bottle or bag gently before use
  •     Spread material evenly on soil or rockwool blocks
  •     Do not apply in pothole close to stem to prevent plant damage by storage mites


Environmental conditions
Soil must be moist but not too wet, preferably rich in organic matter, with an open structure and minimum temperature of 15°C/59°F.

Storage and handling

  •     Storage after receipt: 1-2 days
  •     Storage temperature: 10-15°C/50-59°F
  •     In the dark (bottle horizontally)


Remarks

  • These predatory mites do not enter diapause
  • The product ENTOMITE contains storage mites (Tyrophagus putrescentiae). These may cause slight damage to some crops, particularly when growing conditions are humid or in the presence of large quantities. Always apply ENTOMITE to the soil surface, not on the plant. Test on small scale prior to application in crops where experience is lacking. Or ask your supplier for advice.



Appearance

Adults: size to 1 mm, brown

Larvae/first nymphal stage: white

 
Mode of action
Adults and nymphs feed on larvae of sciarid flies and other soil living insects.

 
Visual effect
The mites can be observed in and on the soil and at the base of plant stems. Hypoaspis miles seldom occurs on the plants. Slow but steady reduction of the infestation level will take place.
