Application Thripex-Plus

- Hang sachets in sheltered positions on the crop (no direct sunlight).
- For best results place sachets so that the bottom is touching the moist substrate. This will increase the longevity of the product.
- Hold sachets by the cardboard strip at the top. The predatory mites are easily damaged
Please note Thripex Plus contains grain mites and bran. These mites might cause slight damage to some crops, especially with a large number of mites and high humidity. Therefore, consult your supplier prior to using Thripex. It is recommended to carry out a small field test to monitor the effects.
Best working conditions Thripex-Plus
The predatory mite is not susceptible to diapause and therefore can be applied all year round. Relative humidity should be above 75% and the temperature above 20°C/68°F for some hours of the day.
