Koppert has been working for a while now in the development of solutions for the biological control of the plagues of flies and white fly in horticultural crops with the incorporation of Amblydromalus limonicus to the format of the Ulti-Mite: a generation of progressive liberation containers that involves an important technological advance in the application of predatory mites.

One of its main reasons is the biological versatility of this mite, a polyphagous organism, capable of feeding on different species of flies and white fly, with great control potential and a wide thermal tolerance. Furthermore, it maintains excellent behavior in different cultivation cycles, consolidating Limonica Ulti-Mite as a reliable and effective herb.

High mobility and high reproduction rate allow you to maximize the performance of the Ulti-Mite system, especially when the first steps are carried out between the second and third weeks between the transplant, a key moment to favor correct stability in the crop.

As a simple package, Ulti-Mite was conceived as an authentic miniature biofactory. Three living organisms coexist inside which interact in a balanced way to guarantee the continuous reproduction of the predatory mite and its subsequent progressive release over several weeks.

The development of this technology was the result of an extensive investigation process

The development of this technology is the result of a large investigation process. More than 10,000 hours of work and more than 50 tests have allowed us to optimize a patented system that responds to one of the main principles of biological control: ensuring that the auxiliary organism is in the field in the best conditions.

Another innovative aspect of the Ulti-Mite shoes resides in its manufacturing material. Created with a 100% compostable external foil, it generates a stable internal microclimate, essential for the reproduction of mites. This feature allows you to conserve moisture inside and protect organisms before the usual environmental fluctuations in winter.

Unlike traditional paper towels, the new structure offers greater resistance to humidity, rain, rain or high temperatures, reducing the deterioration of the material and prolonging the biological activity of the system.

Furthermore, Ulti-Mite technology brings new insights from the point of view of sustainability thanks to the use of compostable materials and the optimization of the performance of beneficial organisms. Occupy Fruit Attraction at stand 9E24
