Pest Control
A few simple tips to consistently get rid of bugs
Most growers will encounter issues with bugs from time to time, even if only occasionally. However, there are plenty of safe pest controls to help alleviate this. Most of these controls are plant and environment friendly and there are different products for different situations.
Sprays are a good method and one that is commonly used in commercial agriculture as well. Sprays such as
Spider Mite Control and
Plant Protection Spray will help to protect against Spidermites, Greenfly, Blackfly, Whitefly, Thunderfly and many more plant pests.
The proprietary formulae include several plant extracts and salts. The combination of these ingredients provide effective protection against spider mites in all stages. With the addition of a foliar nutrient, our spray ensures that plants also get an additional boost to help the plant recover from a mite infestation quicker.
Frequency of Application
Read the product label thoroughly and follow it to the letter. During product development, hours and hours are spent testing them in order to deliver precise instructions. If applied too close to harvest they can potentially leave unwanted residues and although they will not effectively be harmful they can affect the taste and smell of the product.
However, more than one application may be required to deal with several generations of the pests. After one application there may still be eggs in the environment that can develop into a new batch of pests.
