Summary

  • Dose: one shampoo sachet per 20 L spray tank; do not spray alone, always combine with technical insecticides.
  • Useful against sap-sucking pests and virus-vector pests in chilli, sometimes used in organic farming.
  • Combined with Hifield Mitofix (fipronil 2.5% + propargite 35% EC) at 400 ml/acre for mites and black thrips.
  • Also pair with Hifield Edimax (emamectin benzoate 1.1% + diafenthiuron 30% SC) at 200 ml/acre for full spectrum sucking + chewing pest control.
