Active Ingredients & Mode of Action

The product’s efficacy stems from a blend of active compounds that disrupt the nervous system of target insects. When sprayed, these chemicals penetrate the insect cuticle, causing paralysis and death. The formulation also includes adjuvants that enhance adhesion to foliage, ensuring prolonged contact time even under windy conditions.

Application Guidelines

For optimal results, follow these steps:

1. Dilution Ratio: Mix 1 ml of concentrate with 2 litres of water to create a 0.05% solution. Adjust the ratio if you require a stronger or lighter concentration.
2. Spray Technique: Apply evenly across all plant surfaces, paying special attention to undersides where pests often hide.
3. Timing: Spray during early morning or late afternoon to avoid direct sunlight, which can degrade the active ingredients.
4. Frequency: Reapply every 28 days for continuous protection. For severe infestations, a second application may be necessary within the first week.

Safety and Environmental Considerations

The concentrate is designed to minimize environmental impact. It breaks down rapidly in soil and water, reducing persistence. Nonetheless, avoid spraying near water bodies or during heavy rain to prevent runoff. Wear protective gloves and eyewear when handling the concentrate.

Compatibility with Other Products

This insecticide can be safely combined with most organic fertilizers and plant growth regulators. Avoid mixing with products containing high levels of surfactants that may cause phytotoxicity. Always perform a small patch test before full application.

Storage Instructions

• Keep the bottle tightly closed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
• Avoid exposure to temperatures above 30 °C or below freezing.
• Store out of reach of children and pets.
