Hypoaspis larvae and fungus gnat mite           Hypoaspis miles

Hypoaspis miles feeds on soil inhabiting stages of different insects and mites such as, fungus gnat larvae, thrips pupae, springtails and mould mites.

Hypoaspis is delivered in a 1 litre tube or 3 litre pail mixed with soil mix. One litre contains 25,000 predatory mites.

This product is applied evenly on the soil or in little piles on the sawdust. The soil or sawdust must be moist, but not too wet. It takes several weeks [depending on the introduction rate] until Hypoaspis miles is established in the soil. It is therefore important to introduce the product at the beginning of the crop.

Preventative:  100 per square metre/ 10 per square foot
