Description
The formulation is meticulously crafted to enhance the daily release of predatory Amblyseius cucumeris mites onto the crop.
At 75°F, the total development time for Cucumeris mites is 6-9 days, aligning well with the lifecycle of Western Flower Thrips.
Cucumeris mites thrive in an optimal temperature range of 66-80°F, with humidity levels between 65% and 75%.
These beneficial mites feed on the first larval stage (L1) and are unable to attack larger larvae or adults.
