These, too, are fierce predators, consuming many pests, mostly the eggs and smaller larvae (first and second instar) of fungus gnats and the pupal stages of thrips. The life-span of these predators is about 13 days from egg to adult. But they reproduce profusely in what little time they have. The conditions for optimum performance will be between 60-72°F, and we’re talking about soil temperatures, with a relative humidity equal to that found in a friable, slightly moist medium, compost or soil. But these are optimum conditions, and not necessarily a prerequisite of successful implementation. Please note, however, considerably cooler temperatures will hamper reproduction and development a certain degree.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"border-image-outset: 0; border-image-repeat: stretch;

These, too, are fierce predators, consuming many pests, mostly the eggs and smaller larvae (first and second instar) of fungus gnats and the pupal stages of thrips. The life-span of these predators is about 13 days from egg to adult. But they reproduce profusely in what little time they have. The conditions for optimum performance will be between 60-72°F, and we’re talking about soil temperatures, with a relative humidity equal to that found in a friable, slightly moist medium, compost or soil. But these are optimum conditions, and not necessarily a prerequisite of successful implementation. Please note, however, considerably cooler temperatures will hamper reproduction and development a certain degree.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"border-image-outset: 0; border-image-repeat: stretch; border-image-slice: 100%; border-image-source: none; border-image-width: 1; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; padding: 0px; margin: 0px; border: 0px none currentColor;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"border-image-outset: 0; border-image-repeat: stretch; border-image-slice: 100%; border-image-source: none; border-image-width: 1; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; padding: 0px; margin: 0px; border: 0px none currentColor;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/0tra7WPfSYQ\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #2b00ff;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow To Use Video\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"border-image-outset: 0; border-image-repeat: stretch; border-image-slice: 100%; border-image-source: none; border-image-width: 1; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; padding: 0px; margin: 0px; border: 0px none currentColor;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ffffff;\"\u003e04670\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"border-image-outset: 0; border-image-repeat: stretch; border-image-slice: 100%; border-image-source: none; border-image-width: 1; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; padding: 0px; margin: 0px; border: 0px none currentColor;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ffffff;\"\u003e04675\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/article\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e"}
