    The Koppert Thripex-Plus Large 500 pack (371) are predatory mites that targets and kills spider mites, strawberry mite, broad mite, several other mites, honeydew and pollen. These predatory mites also eliminates various thrips species, hatching eggs and those at their first larval stage. 

    Introduction of Thripex :

    • Turn and shake gently before use
    • Disperse material manually onto leaves, disperse throughout the crop using a blower, or - only in the case of buckets - scatter the material in little heaps onto stone-wool pots using a scoop 2.5 ml per plant, opposite the trickler
    • When introduced on rockwool blocks the heaps keep on producing predatory mites for some weeks. Mites leave the heap to disperse in the crop
