100 ml bottle, containing 500 nymphs mixed with wood chips and buckwheat
As nymphs of Macrolophus are less mobile then adult Macrolophus, Mirical-N can be used for biological pest control in hotspots.
Introduce Macrolophus in the beginning of the growing season, as the predatory bug population needs time to establish and develop. After a few months, highly dependent on climatic conditions and availability of food, density of Macrolophus should be high enough to control the pests
Adult predatory bugs and nymphs actively search for their prey and consume them. In case of whitefly eggs, larvae or pupae only the skin is left behind in its original state.
Optimal temperatures for Mirical are above 20°C, lower temperatures slow down the development of Macrolophus pygmaeus significantly.
Biological beneficials have a very short life expectancy and therefore need to be introduced into the crop as soon as possible after receipt. Failure to do so can have a negative impact on their quality. In case you do need to store Mirical-N, please follow the instructions below. Koppert B.V. is not liable for any loss of quality if the product is stored for longer and/or under different conditions than recommended.

Tailored advice can be provided if information is available on the local factors that need to be taken into account, such as the crop, the climate conditions and the level of infestation. For the correct approach, please consult a Koppert specialist or a recognized distributor of Koppert products.
