Pests
How to Apply
- Grape and nectarine: treatment against thrips will reduce citrus bud mite infestation
- Onion - In late-ripening varieties, in a drip-irrigated area: spraying intervals of at least 2-3 days, based on degree of infestation.
- Onion - In early-ripening varieties or in irrigation over the vegetation: spraying intervals of at least 7-10 days, based on degree of infestation.
- Due to the preparation's water solubility, repeat treatment after over-foliage irrigation or significant rainfall – re-treat as the degree of infestation in the area increases. It is preferable to treat with this preparation alternately with other insecticides as per the recommendations of SHAHAM guides to minimize the risk of resistance development.
- Extermination of tobacco thrips in late ripening varieties aids in the prevention of the 'straw bleaching' phenomenon. To achieve optimal eradication results, it is recommended to use a pressure sprayer to enable penetration of the spray into axils.
