Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is BioBee's Bio Persimilis?
BioBee's Bio Persimilis is a predatory mite called Phytoseiulus persimilis, which naturally controls spider mites, and is packed in a 100cc bottle containing predatory mites mixed in a vermiculite carrier.
2. How should Bio Persimilis be applied?
Bio Persimilis can be sprinkled from the bottle over the crop or placed into BioBee D Box. The former application method is good for horizontal crops whereas the latter is more effective in vertical crops.
3. What is the release rate for Bio Persimilis?
The release rate depends upon the nature of the crop, the ecosystem (e.g. open field or greenhouse) and the level of spider mite infestation.
4. Are there any precautions before using BioBee's Bio Persimilis?
Prior to opening, place the bottle in a horizontal position and rotate gently to allow proper mixing of the predatory mites in the vermiculite carrier. P. persimilis should be introduced upon first sign of spider mite damage. Temperatures of 70 80*F and humidity above 60 percent will enhance this predator's activity and ensure its success. If necessary, Bio Persimilis can be stored for 24 hours at a temperature of 46 50*F from the minute of arrival until release, but it should never be frozen. These live insects MUST ship via two day air. This product is not valid for any free or reduced shipping offers.
