Mode Of Action
Koppert Spical Plus has a special layout for fighting against offensive mite species.
- It actively hunts and kills the Tetranychidae family, especially the two-spotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae, and Tetranychus cinnabarinus, the carmine mite.
- The predatory Neoseiulus californicus has a developing period of 10 days at a temperature of 69.8°F, which is reduced to 5 days at 86°F.
- This causes an alignment in the predator's and the prey's development, making the process easier.
- The Tetranychus urticae has a life cycle of 16 days while Tetranychus cinnabarinus completes it in 7 days.
- The Amblyseius spread at maximum extents over time and feed on the mites by piercing with their mouthparts and sucking out the contents.

Specialties
Koppert Spical Plus presented by New Enemies is a rapid fix for a long-term problem. Farmers, growers, and lawn carers frequently face problems of crop destruction by insects, mites, or other kinds of pests. This product has adaptable qualities that allow crops to grow unaffected by these mites.
- Natural Solution: Special Plus sachet allows an organic fix to get rid of the mites. It works by the technique of nature fighting nature.
- Reliability: The californicus targets the Tetranychidae family but is a non-picky eater, so it can also prevent vegetation from other pests like pollen.
- Slow-release Packaging: It comes in a slow-release form with holes in the packaging. This way, the Amblyseius is multiplied and released at the same time, attacking both young and mature spider mites.
- High tolerance: This formulation of Amblyseius californicus in the barn is more resistant to chemical pesticides, hot weather, and humidity than spider or other mite controllers.
