Magiciananswered grow question 3 years ago Note I applied a fertiliser 48 hours ago for THRIPS APHIDS AND SPIDER MITES. Removed 90% of the infected leaves and noticed theyre mainly on the bottom canopy near the soil where they receive less sunlight. I will go and buy some predatory mites and release them tonight, hopefully they will do the job. People have recommended that I use ladybugs, but studies conducted that 95% of them fly way within the first 48hours and that means like a waste of money when they cost 1 dollar a bug. Ill need hundreds and keep repeating.
Hopefully the mites will stay in the plant as they have no wings and do the job.
If you research SWIRSKI ULTI-MITE – KOPPERT, you can see they do fantastic products to kill these devil bugs. SAVE MY CROP, I NEED A BUD DOCTOR.
So thankful in advance for everyone time, attention and experience
