When should Entomite-M be used?

Use Entomite-M for the biological control of eggs, larvae and pupae of mulch flies, especially the smallest larvae. Enter the product at the first sign of presence of the pest.

How does Entomite-M work?

Adults and nymphs feed on larvae of sciarid flies and other soil insects. Mites can be seen in and on the ground and at the base of the stems of plants. Stratiolaelaps scimitus is hardly transferred to the plant itself. The reduction of the attack level is slow but continuous.

Application of Entomite-M

Invert the bottle or bag and shake it carefully before use.

Spread the material evenly on the ground or blocks of rock wool (not on plastic)

To prevent damage caused by mold mites, do not apply the product in the planting hole near the stem.

Entomite-M contains mold mites (Tyrophagus putrescentiae), which can cause minor damage to some crops, especially in wet conditions or when large amounts appear. Therefore, Entomite-M should always be applied on the surface of the floor and not on the floor. When using the product for the first time, first perform a small scale test before its application throughout the crop.

Conditions of optimal management of Entomite-M

To achieve optimal results, the soil should be moist but not too much and, if possible, rich in organic matter. It must also have an open structure. The minimum temperature for an adequate development of Entomite-M is 15 ° C.
