The duration of flower openness varies between one to three days, depending on environmental conditions. To evaluate pollination [...] location. This allows both the bumblebees and people to easily identify and access the hive. Moreover, ensure that the hive is placed horizontally for optimal

Ulti-Mite: Revolutionizing biocontrol with innovative predatory mite sachets

Similar to other sachet products, the feeder mite population inside increases, creating a sustainable food source for the predatory mites to build new [...] less. Extended release The breeding sachets function like a continuous engine, allowing predatory mites to reproduce within the sachet and gradually emerge [...] responsibly disposed of along with crop waste. Additionally, the moisture-resistant hooks used to hang the sachets ensure they remain effective and secure when

Kiwi

They pierce the prey with their sucking mouthparts and suck out the contents [...] cardboard strip at the top, to avoid damaging the predatory mites Dosage The dosage of Spidex Vital Go depends on climate, crop and pest density and should [...] locations in the crop, not exposed to direct sunlight. In tomato only use Spidex Vital Go in hotspots Sachets already have an exit hole Hold sachets by the cardboard

Predatory mites

knowing the target pest is crucial. Scouting is essential to know where the pest is, how severe the infestation is and to identify the pest. Select the right [...] alternative to chemical pesticides. Koppert is the pioneer in the development of predatory mite solutions, starting in 1967 with the rearing of the predatory [...] areas. The larvae have three pairs of legs. Depending on the predatory mite species larvae are active or inactive. Once the larva has moulted to the protonymph

Effective spider mite control with predatory mites

impact on the environment and human health. Koppert is the pioneer in the development of predatory mite solutions, starting in 1967 with the production [...] mites are among the most destructive pests in horticulture, damaging crops rapidly and thriving in hot, dry conditions. Their resistance to chemical pesticides [...] without harm to other natural enemies or pollinators. No resistance development: unlike chemical pesticides, pests do not develop resistance to natural predators

Trichoderma harzianum

possible to start applications from propagation. When the pathogen pressure is potentially high, the crop is sensible to soil diseases. If the crop cycle [...] harzianum grows faster on the surface of the root than soil borne pathogenic fungi, which get no change to establish themselves on the roots. Competition for [...] Induced resistance: Trichoderma harzianum reinforces the defence mechanism of the parts of the plant above the ground, so-called induced system resistance (ISR)

Beneficial nematodes

Feeding and reproduction: The nematodes feed on the multiplying bacteria and absorb the nutrients released by the bacterial [...] release enzymes to help digest and soften the host's cuticle, allowing them to enter. Symbiotic bacteria release: Once inside the insect host, the nematodes [...] nourishment for the nematodes and supports their reproduction. As the bacterial population within the host insect continues to grow, so do the nematode populations

Plant Disease Management

The primary goal of biological control is to reduce the damage caused by these pathogens while minimizing the use of chemical pesticides [...] preventing the disease from spreading further. Crop rotation Crop rotation is a fundamental strategy, which means avoiding planting the same crop in the same

Biological Pest Control

This approach not only reduces the environmental impact but also minimizes the risk of pesticide [...] pest control methods do not harm the environment, ensuring the preservation of ecosystems. Sustainable Biocontrol reduces the need for continuous chemical [...] biological control focuses on enhancing the presence of natural enemies and beneficial organisms in the environment to maintain a balance between pests and
