Phytoseiulus persimilis - Application
Application Instructions
Bottled Release
- Release in the early morning, in the evening, or when grow lights are off.
- Mist leaves lightly before releasing.
- Lay the bottle on its side and gently roll it to mix the mites through the carrier.
- Sprinkle the contents onto the most heavily infested plants first, concentrating on the hot spots, or pour them into hanging boxes.
- Leave the open container in place for 72 hours so any remaining predators can disperse.
- Repeat every 1–2 weeks until the infestation is under control.
Sachet Release
- Locate plants where you want to prevent infestation.
- Hang sachet on plant, out of direct sunlight.
- Introduce slow release sachets every 2-4 weeks to prevent infestation.
Sachets should not be allowed to dry up entirely, and direct sunlight should be avoided. Prolonged moisture and damp environments can cause sachets to degrade or encourage fungal growth.
