Airbug is an effective and efficient method to distribute and apply Koppert products. The Airbug is used for both full field distribution and for specific hot spots.
The use of biological pest control methods can be time consuming during the production of many ornamental and tree nursery crops. The Airbug now offers you a labour-saving solution.
The Airbug hand-held blower distributes predatory mites quickly and evenly. This uniform distribution leads to an effective biological pest control, because the mites reach the pest faster. Several kinds of predatory mites can be released during a single session.
How does Airbug work?
The Airbug’s special fan in combination with the revolving dosage pot ensures a uniform release of carrier material containing natural enemies.The airflow from the fan guarantees the even distribution of this material up to a distance of at least 3 meters from the Airbug. Because of its unique design, the natural enemies suffer no damage due to the use of the blower. Last but not least, mixtures of various natural enemies can be released during one single session.
