Description
Pyrethrin and plant-oil spray for thrips on protected ornamentals
Guard'n'Aid for Thrips is a contact insecticide concentrate combining pyrethrins (4.59 g/L) with rapeseed oil (825.3 g/L). It is authorised for ornamental plants grown under protection, under glass or other cover, and is not for use on edible crops. One spray rarely clears thrips, so the label allows a repeat after 14 days. MAPP No. 18579.
Key Benefits
- Two actives - pyrethrins plus rapeseed oil, working on contact
- Authorised for protected ornamental plants - under glass or other cover
- Approved for amateur use - for home growers as well as professionals
- Simple dilution - 15ml per litre of water
Silvery streaks and black specks on your leaves?
Thrip damage shows as silvery stippling, distorted new growth and dark frass on leaves and flowers, and populations recover quickly when a treatment misses the newly hatched larvae. A thorough spray followed by a repeat 14 days later keeps the pressure on as each new generation hatches.
How to Use
- Mixing: 15ml of concentrate per litre of water, never more than 20ml per litre. Shake well and use the spray straight away
- Coverage: spray all plant surfaces, especially leaf undersides and growing tips
- Maximum dose: no more than 0.6ml of concentrate per square metre of plants
- Repeat: after 14 days if needed, up to 8 treatments a year
- For protected ornamental plants only. Always read and follow the label
