 ATTENTION: Orders of this item placed during the week, (by Thursday at 12:00) will be processed on Tuesday of the following week.

Entomite-M  uses the predatory mite Stratiolaelaps scimitus (also known as Hypoaspis miles), a small natural enemy that lives in the soil and feeds on the harmful insects that attack crops. Entomite-M is an effective and sustainable method to protect your plants without the use of chemicals.

How Entomite-M works

The predatory mites of Entomite-M act directly and constantly. They feed mainly on the larvae of the fun, which can cause serious damage to the roots of the plants, and the pupae of thrips, which infest the crops. Mites live in the soil and move on its surface, even reaching the base of plant stems, where they can hunt prey. The rate of reduction of infestations is slow but continuous, ensuring effective control over time.

Instructions for Use

Before applying Entomite-M, it is important to gently shake the container to evenly distribute predatory mites. The product should be applied directly to the soil or substrate, avoiding plastic. This treatment is ideal for greenhouse crops, vegetable gardens or gardens, and works best in moist, organic matter-rich and soft soils.

Dosage and Application

The dosage of Entomite-M varies depending on climatic conditions, the type of crop and the density of pests present. It is advisable to introduce the product preventively or as soon as you notice the first signs of infestation. The standard dosage ranges from 100 to 500 mites per square meter. For a customized application and specific advice, you can consult a KOPPERT expert or an authorized distributor.

Ideal Conditions for Entomite-M

For best results, the soil should be kept moist and well-structured, with a minimum temperature of 15°C. This will help the mites thrive and effectively control the population of harmful insects.

Combined Use for More Control

To further improve thrips control, Entomite-M can be combined with other predatory mites such as Amblydromalus limonicus, Amblyseius andersoni, Amblyseius swirskii and Neoseiulus cucumeris, or with predatory insects such as Orius spp..

Entomite-M is the perfect solution for those looking for an organic, sustainable and effective method to protect their plants from sciarids and thrips, contributing to a healthier and safer growing environment.
