Its optimum performance window is 70–85°F with relative humidity between 60–90%; significantly cooler or warmer temperatures slow its reproduction and development.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eRelease Rates\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"gm-table-wrap\"\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"gm-release-table\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eClassification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eRelease Information\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLow\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.5 per sq. ft.; regular releases recommended as needed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHigh\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2 per sq. ft.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCannabis Alert:\u003c\/strong\u003e Release rate suggestions on these pages are usually not sufficient for cannabis growers.

Concentrate the bulk at release points on or near the most heavily infested plants. The vial product comes with a nipple cap for slow dosing — cut the tip to the size you need (a smaller opening releases more slowly). Because the instinct of persimilis is to run straight up, keep the vial vertical so they naturally move out onto the plant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStorage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Do not store the mites for more than 8 hours.
