The fight against spider mites takes another step forward with the launch of Spidex Vital Go, developed by Koppert. Building on decades of expertise, Spidex Vital Go offers growers a new, accessible, and highly effective way to combat spider mites hotspots at the earliest stage.

The solution offers a new level of control through its sachet-based system, and allows growers to:

  • Precision target: Detect and address the very first signs of potential spider mite hotspots at critical locations.
  • Protective shield: Ensure an even distribution of Spidex Vital Go across the greenhouse, creating a shield that suppresses spider mite infestations.

How it works

Spidex Vital Go utilizes sachets containing Phytoseiulus persimilis, a predatory mite that targets the destructive two-spotted spider mite. Unlike conventional solutions, Spidex Vital Go allows these beneficial mites to multiply within the sachet, ensuring a sustained and consistent release throughout the crop during 2 weeks. By applying the sachets at the first sign of spider mite presence or hotspot formation, growers can prevent severe infestations before they take hold.

Benefits of Spidex Vital Go

  1. Prevention of severe hotspots: Stops infestations early, preventing them from escalating.
  2. Labour savings: Sachet application is quick and efficient, reducing manual labour.
  3. Prolonged efficacy: Subsequent generations of predatory mites continue to protect the crop for a longer period of time.
  4. Targeted application: Fewer predatory mites are lost by falling to the ground compared to loose material applications.

Extended efficacy for long-term protection

Spidex Vital Go offers peace of mind by maintaining a consistent population of predatory mites in the crop. The sachets ensure predators are present over a 2-week period, making it difficult for spider mites to proliferate. Unlike bottled solutions, the sachets offer a time-efficient application that reduces labour costs while providing superior mite control.

User-friendly application

Application is straightforward: simply hang the sachets near the first signs of spider mites or distribute them evenly across the crop during early infestations. Spidex Vital Go is also compatible with Spidex Vital bottles, making it a flexible and versatile tool for growers.

Born to fight

Spidex Vital Go predatory mites are born to fight. As they feed on spider mites, their color changes to a distinctive red-orange hue, offering a visible sign of their efficacy.
