Directions for use

Application

Apply the material to the crop with the help of the custom-built distribution device attached to a drone or tractor.

Once the tubes have been taken from storage do not transport them at lower temperatures to avoid condensation. Make sure the tubes warm up gradually.

Dosage

The dosage depends on climate, crop and spider mite density and should always be adjusted to the particular situation. Start introduction as soon as the first pest mites are detected in the crop. Introduction rates typically range from 10.000-20.000 per hectare/release. Releases should be repeated once or twice. Consult a Koppert advisor or a recognized distributor of Koppert products for advice on the best strategy for your situation.
