Title:
USE OF AQUEOUS FIBER DISPERSION FOR IMPROVING BIOLOGICAL CONTROL OF PEST BY PREDATORY MITES
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2017/050950
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The present invention relates to methods for the biological control of crop pests by promoting the growth and development of predatory mites by increasing the attractiveness of the plant to the predatory mite, particularly in the case of plants lacking trichomes. The methods comprise applying a liquid fiber composition, preferably comprising a suitable adhesive agent, to a plant or part thereof and contacting a population of predatory mites with said plant.
