How to get the best results:

efekto aphicide is a systemic insecticide with the added advantage of contact action to give a rapid kill of insect pests hit by the spray at time of application. Efekto aphicide controls aphids and a number of other insect pests on a wide range of horticultural and agricultural crops. Efekto aphicide rapidly penetrates plant tissue and translocates in the sap-stream to render the plant toxic to sucking and rasping insects before being bio-degraded within the plant.

Spray at first signs of insect presence. Timing of subsequent sprayings will depend on climatic conditions and incidents of re-infestation, but should rarely be required at closer than 14 day intervals. If spraying is necessary in hot, dry conditions, spray in early morning or in evening when plants are not water stressed.

Active ingredient:
- dimethoate (organophosphate) 400 g/l

tips:
- spray plants and trees when growing vigorously (in full sap flow), not when they are or have recently been wilted, drought stricken, diseased or showing signs of any physiological abnormalities.
