Use for
Use Nutari as an alternative source of food for build-up and maintenance of generalist predatory mite populations (Amblyseius swirskii, Amblyseius andersoni, Amblydromalus limonicus, Neoseiulus californicus, Neoseiulus cucumeris, Transeius montdorensis) in the beginning of the season and at low prey densities.
How it works
Mode of action
When density of the target pest is low and there is no alternative food available in the crop Nutari can be provided as alternative food source for predatory mites. This will ensure a standing army of predatory mites in the crop, keeping the target pest on a low level.
