It is still the benchmark, the one pest control product that everyone else in the field automatically uses to compare other natural enemies, old or new. And there is still no reason for that to change. The predatory mite Amblyseius swirskii has brought growers around the world huge success.

‘The fact that Swirski-Mite is so popular should not surprise you,’ says Tim Bossinga. The Product Manager has taken his time to point out what the power of Swirski-Mite actually is. ‘The predatory mite is extremely effective and resistant to high temperatures. It makes short work of thrips and whitefly and also tackles spider mite and tarsonemid mite.’

Versatile and reliable

Amblyseius swirskii is not only an extremely effective glutton, it can also be used in many crops and under a great variety of circumstances. In the first instance, it can be used in large fruiting vegetable crops such as bell peppers, cucumber, aubergine, courgette and melon.
