On July 1st 2013, Biobest announced the launch of Nutrimite™. Cucumber grower Twan Wijnen in The Dutch province of Limburg was one of the first to start large scale use of Nutrimite™ in cucumber.
The grower found Biobest’s Nutrimite™ system to boost the power of his predatory mite population compelling and worked closely with Biobest and Arend-Sosef, Biobest’s distributor in Holland, to apply Nutrimite™ on all 9 ha in combination with swirskii.
“I have been really satisfied with the results. I’ve seen much higher population levels of swirskii than normal. Without Nutrimite™, for sure, I would have been heading for another year with high thrips pressure. Nutrimite™ helped me get a clean crop.” continues Mr. Wijnen.
