BIOLOGICAL PEST & DISEASE CONTROL

PLANT SOAP PS1

At last an effective, safe and affordable alternative to toxic chemical insecticides. Plant Soap simply suffocates insects it contacts. The high viscous spray is colourless, odourless and non toxic. It is effective against a very wide range of insects including aphid, whitefly, scale, mealy bug, two spotted mites as eggs, juveniles and adults. Good coverage as a high volume, high pressure spray is essential. Plant Soap is not rain-fast; allow for 12 hours free from rain or irrigation post spray. Most natural insect predator adults are unaffected by Plant Soap, making it ideal to use in integrated Biological pest & disease control programmes.

HYPOMITES : The most successful pest predators for nursery use,

Hypomites predate a wide range of plant pests in the root zone very successfully within modern nursery cultural practice They are easy to apply, work tirelessly to eradicate pests and even sustain themselves on mould mites in your media, so that they remain fighting fit to deal to subsequent re-infestation. One application in each stage of production is usually enough. Early application, in propagation, gives the best and most economical results. Pests controlled include Sciarid fly & root mealy bug.

HYPOMITES are supplied in a canister containing a bran of peat & vermiculite. Each contains 10,000 mites at all stages of development—eggs to adults. Simply flip the lid and shake them out onto the surface of the growing media containing your plants. One canister will treat about 90 prop. trays or equivalent area. Simple and effective!
