What is PERCALMIX - vermiculite - Bottle - 4000 Individuals Phytoseiulus persimilis + Amblyseius californicus?

This product contains a synergistic combination of two predatory mite species

Phytoseiulus persimilis: Notable for rapid reproduction when prey is present, this specialized spider mite predator is also valuable for its ability to consume large quantities of mites. Perfect for fast knockdown during outbreaks.

Amblyseius californicus (Neoseiulus californicus): This mite is a generalist which survives under various ranges of temperature and humidity. Its most notable ability is the maintenance of population even in the absense of spider mites. This ensures lasting and preventive control.

Each 4000-individual bottle contains both species in a carefully balanced population, engineered for fast response and sustained pest suppression.

Benefits and Performance Characteristics

Optimum Effectiveness from Two Species

The combination allows for both immediate action on pest pressure as well as extended maintenance suppression in more variable conditions, which increases the overall reliability of its use in different growing environments.

Versatile Environmental Adaptability

Phytoseiulus persimilis performs best in high humidity areas, whereas Amblyseius californicus excels in dry or unstable conditions. Collectively, these two species span the entire range of typical greenhouse climates.

High Capacity Bottle Format

The 4,000 Individual bottle provides excellent release volume, ideal for medium-sized greenhouses. It also caters to localized infestations of larger plants and enhances adaptablility of pest control operations.

Protective Carrier Vermiculite

Vermiculite protects and cushions mites during transportation while also restraining moisture loss. This enables stress-free application of the mites across foliage or into distribution sachets.

Residue-Free with IPM Friendly Approach

This product effortlessly integrates with organic systems and IPM frameworks. It features zero synthetic residue which renders it safe for edible crops, flowering plants, and areas rich in pollinators.

Application Instructions

• Please shake the bottle before opening to ensure the mites mix evenly with the vermiculite carrier.
• Foliage applications can be made during the day by dusting the product down on the plant or placing in release boxes.
• To preserve mite viability, do not apply pesticides immediately before or shortly after application.
• This product is intended for use with mild to moderate infestations or to supplement seasonal preventative measures against pests.

Depending on the density of pests and environmental factors, one bottle containing 4000 mites will adequately service the greenhouse compartment, a tunnel section, or a crop row.
