The insecticide Spruzit, which is active against biting and sucking pests in edible and non-edible crops, is soon to be available in two new pack sizes - three and 10 litres replacing the current five litre container.
Spruzit contains naturally derived pyrethrins and oils in a formulation that targets insects’ nervous systems. It can work against a range of pests including caterpillars, aphids, spider mites, mealy bugs and whitefly at the egg, larval and adult stages.
Certis’ marketing manager Robert Lidstone said: “Following the approval of Spruzit for use through tractor mounted hydraulic sprayers, broad acre outdoor applications are now a practical option for growers of fruit and vegetable crops. Having looked at the needs of both the protected and outdoor sectors we concluded that each required a different pack size,” he says.
The smaller three litre packs are aimed at the protected crops sector allowing 0.25-0.5 hectare to be treated per pack dependent on the use rate, while the 10 litre pack is designed for use on outdoor broad acre crops.
