Hirsutella Thompsonii dextrose based powder 1 kg

Our Hirsutella thompsonii powder is a powerful, nature-derived biological acaricide. Formulated on a pure dextrose base, this mycopathogenic fungus specifically targets and eliminates a wide range of harmful spider mites, offering a sustainable and eco-friendly solution for integrated pest management (IPM).

Perfect for organic growers, greenhouses, nurseries, and farmers looking to reduce chemical pesticide use without compromising crop health.

Key Benefits & Features

• Highly Specific Control: Infects and eradicates pest mites (e.g., Tetranychus urticae - Red Spider Mite) while being completely safe for beneficial insects, pollinators, plants, and humans.

• Superior Formulation: Dextrose-based powder ensures excellent stability, longer shelf life, and provides an immediate energy source for rapid fungal spore germination upon application.

• Ideal for IPM Programs: A cornerstone for resistance management. Breaks the pest lifecycle without harming predator mites (like Phytoseiulus persimilis), allowing biocontrol ecosystems to thrive.

• Zero Chemical Residues: OMRI-listed for organic production. Leaves no harmful residues on fruits, vegetables, or ornamentals, ensuring safer produce and compliance with strict export standards.

• Preventive & Curative Action: Works best as a preventive measure and can suppress early infestations when applied at the first sign of mites.

How It Works

Hirsutella thompsonii is a parasitic fungus. Its spores attach to the mite's cuticle, germinate, and penetrate the body. The fungus grows inside the mite, ultimately consuming it and producing new spores that spread to other mites, creating a lasting suppressive effect in the crop canopy.

Easy Application Guide

Dosage: 2.0 - 2.5 grams per liter of water.
Method:

1. Mix the powder in a small amount of water to form a smooth paste.

2. Dilute to the final volume with constant agitation.

3. Spray thoroughly, ensuring excellent canopy coverage (especially the undersides of leaves) using a high-volume sprayer.

4. Apply during evening hours or under high humidity conditions for optimal spore germination.

5. Repeat applications at 7-10 day intervals as needed, based on pest pressure.

Compatibility: Compatible with most organic fertilizers and biopesticides. Do not mix with chemical fungicides. Apply at least a 7-day gap between fungicide and Hirsutella application.
