After emerging from the pupa, adult gall-midges actively search for spider mite colonies and deposit eggs next to the spider mites. Once emerged, the larvae feed on the spider mites.
Spider mites are consumed entirely, only skin remains.
| Pack size | 250 pupae. |
| Presentation | 100 ml bottle. |
| Carrier | None. |
Open the bottle and position it straight in the crop (on the slab or directly on the ground). Make sure the bottle does not fall so that the pupae are not dispersed. Leave the cap next to the bottle so that the wasps can feed on the sugar water in the felt inside it. The wasps will emerge and scout for spidermite hotspots themselves. Protect against direct sunlight and water. Leave the bottle in place for at least two weeks.
The dosage of Spidend depends on climate, crop and spider mite density and should always be adjusted to the particular situation. Start introduction as soon as the first spider mites are detected in the crop. Introduction rates typically range from 0.25-25 per m2/release. Releases should be repeated at least 3 times at weekly intervals, or until the pest is controlled. Consult a Koppert advisor or a recognized distributor of Koppert products for advice on the best strategy for your situation.
Optimal results are achieved in a humid environment (>80% relative humidity) and at temperatures between 20 and 27°C (68 and 81°F).
Should be used in combination with Spidex Vital.
