“ BioBee is majestic to announce that for the first clock time ever , the predatory tinge Phytoseiulus persimilis ( BioPersi+ ) , the ultimate spider mite predatory animal , can be applied preventively using slow - release sachets that will assure consistent and absolutely outstanding results , ” announce Ran Ganel , chief executive officer of BioBee Sde Eliyhau .
Phytoseiulus persimilis has been used successfully in Integrated Pest Management ( IPM ) programs since the 1960s . Being feed specific , the traditional tritrophic rearing method ( plant / pest / good ) , although successful , has not supported the economic consumption of tiresome - handout sachet . custom was upended at the starting time of this twelvemonth with the promulgation of a novel good deal rearing method acting for P. persimilis .
“ BioBee ’s patented rearing applied science is based on an perfectly nonobvious accomplishment : the successful ontogeny and reproduction of P. persimilis on alternate prey feed , which is far unlike from its traditional well - known wanderer speck - ground feed . This engineering has yielded the BioPersi+ ( an improved translation of P. persimilis ) and enable its novel coating method : Slow - spill sachets . ” explicate Dr. Shimon Steinberg , BioBee ’s Chief Scientific Officer .
The new intersection , BioPersi+ , which arrives satiate and physiologically inviolable , is capable to seek and control hot spotlight quicker and start laying eggs on the same day of app in the crop .
crap the slow - vent option of P. persimilis a realityBioPersi+ stop all the developmental stages of the mite ( adult , juveniles , and eggs ) . This population variety creates a continuity of active mite predation , assuring longer , continuous wanderer mite control . In the case of the BioPersi+ sachets , it also means that P. persimilis continues to reproduce inside the sachet , while dispersion on the craw continues .
“ The ability to avail P. persimilis with alternate feed within the sachet take in the deadening - release and preventive program of P. persimilis potential for the first time in commercial biologic dominance , ” explains Tom Katz , R&D bugologist at BioBee who lead the BioPersi+ deadening - sack sachet developing . “ BioPersi+ Speed Sachet with a slow release of more than 150 mites / sachet for up to 5 days is recommended for hotspot treatments . The BioPersi+ Classic Sachet has a ho-hum release of more than 500 mite / sachet for up to 12 day and is recommend for prophylactic use ” , tot up Arnon Tabic , R&D entomologist and co - head of the undertaking , at BioBee .
prompt - release sachets of P. persimilis have been around for some time now , but because the P. persimilis is starve , the sachets must be perforated severally by the drug user when applied . BioPersi+ sachets ( classic & stop number ) contain substitute provender ; thus , the sachets are pre - perforated , ready to use , pee the software faster , comfortable , and more convenient to growers .
Using the “ standing army ” approachBioBee is trust to the software program of natural enemy as preventively as possible , using the “ standing U. S. Army ” approach . This practice will decrease plant damage , the clip and expense required for efficient blighter mastery , the chemical treatment needed as corrective measures , the postponement of beneficial release and the required coating rate of good insects and mites .
The products , BioPersi+ Speed Sachet & BioPersi+ Classic Sachet are an additional weapon to the IPM armoury that tolerate growers to put through this approach . The BioPersi+ Classic Sachet enables applications programme of P. persimilis preventively , dramatically increasing the chance to address and combat the spider pinch pest before it arrives ( since P. persimilis is no longer dependent on its front ) .
“ BioPersi+ sachets can be used in crop such as : sweet pepper , cucumber , tomato , aubergine , cannabis , strawberry , snort , melon vine , watermelon , roses , cut flowers , and other ornamentals . essentially , it can be applied on all crops ! ” explain Moshe Cohen , Senior Field Service Manager at BioBee “ It is an especially utile tool for medical marihuana agriculturalist who must avoid physical contact lens between the product attack aircraft carrier / formulation and any part of the plant . ”
“ BioPersi+ sachet have been introduce commercially in Israel , Mexico and the United States , as well as Canada , and the feedback is heavy . For growers throughout the reality , the fresh BioPersi+ sachet ’s addition to the portfolio of natural enemies means more efficacious , efficient , and longer - hold up ascendancy of spider mites . The BioBee patented rearing technology guarantees a constantly uncommitted , top - quality product , regardless of atmospheric condition or season . ” adds Shachar Carmi VP of Marketing & Business Development at BioBee .
