PREDATORY MITES
ÁCAROS DEPREDADORES
How do they act?
Predatory mites are small beneficial arthropods that feed on other mites and small pest insects. Unlike mites that damage plants, these act as natural biological controllers. They actively move across the surface of leaves and stems in search of prey, helping to maintain balance in the crop ecosystem without the need for chemicals. Their action is fast and silent, making them great allies of organic farming.
How to attract them?
To attract and keep predatory mites on your crops, follow these tips:
- Avoid broad-spectrum insecticides that also eliminate predators.
- Maintain adequate environmental humidity; Beneficial mites need a certain degree of moisture to thrive.
- Plant species such as calendula, clover or alyssum, which offer shelter and favorable microhabitats.
- Do not apply excess sulfur, mineral oils or potassium soaps, as they can damage them.
- If you introduce them commercially, do it at dusk to prevent them from being dispersed by the heat.
- Avoid heavy watering immediately after release to avoid dragging them.
What pests do they control?
Predatory mites are effective against various pests, mainly phytophagous mites such as the red spider (Tetranychus urticae), but they can also attack young thrips, whitefly larvae and eggs of certain pests. Some species, such as Phytoseiulus persimilis, specialize on mites, while others such as Amblyseius swirskii or Neoseiulus cucumeris act on multiple pests, making them very valuable in mixed crops or home gardens.
