What Is PERCALMIX - vermiculite - Bottle - 1000 Individuals Phytoseiulus persimilis + Amblyseius californicus?
This formulation combines two predatory mites:
Phytoseiulus persimilis: A very aggressive spider mite specialist that consumes all life stages of Tetranychus urticae, offering rapid population knockdown.
Amblyseius californicus: A more generalist predator noted for adaptability to temperature and humidity fluctuations, making it best suited for prolonged suppression over time.
This combination allows a grower to achieve fast impact and long-lasting protection simultaneously in a simple bottle.
Advantages of the Dual-Predator Mix
Strategic Biological Balance
The addition of both species improve control under different weather conditions. Phytoseiulus persimilis does well in high humidity and moderate temperatures while Amblyseius californicus continues performing well in lower humidity. This offers better balance to the control program.
Rapid Suppression and Extended Presence
Amblyseius californicus is able to persist even when spider mite populations are low and Phytoseiulus persimilis can begin feeding rather quickly allowing for rapid reproduction. These species act preventively ensuring population control.
Simple Application with Vermiculite
The mites are easy to protect and distribute with the vermiculite substrate. They can be sprinkled manually over the crops or placed in release boxes for gradual dispersal.
Small-Scale Precision
The 1000-individual count is ideal for localized infestations as it offers trial applications or preventative treatments on sensitive crop zones where chemical use is restricted or undesired.
Eco-Conscious and Compatible
Without synthetic chemicals, this product also does not affect pollinators or leave residues on edible crops which is great for IPM and organic protocols.
How to Apply
- Rotate the bottle gently before application to ensure even mixing.
- Infested foliage can be targeted or high-risk zones for infestation and treated with hand distribution.
- Best applied early morning or day’s end to avoid heat peaks.
- Make sure not to use chemical miticides right before or shortly after releasing the mix.
This bottle format is highly recommended for greenhouse vegetables, berries, herbs, and ornamental plants including seedlings, particularly in areas with ongoing problems with spider mite infestations.
