The key insecticidal ingredient found in the neem tree is AZADIRACHTIN, a naturally occurring substance that belongs to an organic molecule class called tetranortriterpenoids.

It is structurally similar to insect hormones called ‘ecdysones’ which control the process of metamorphosis as the insects pass from larva to pupa to adult. Metamorphosis requires the careful synchrony of many hormones and other physiological changes to be successful, and azadirachtin is an ‘ecdysone blocker’. It blocks the insect’s production and release of these vital hormones. Insects then will not moult, thus breaking their life cycle.

Azadirachtin also serves as a feeding deterrent for some insects. Depending on the stage of life-cycle, insect death may not occur for several days. However, upon ingestion of minute quantities, insects become quiescent and stop feeding. Residual insecticidal activity is evident for up to seven days or longer, depending on insects and application rate.

Bioneem is used to control a wide range of insects (up to 200 insect types) including white flies, leafminers, mealybug, thrips, fruit flies, leaf hopper, red spider mite, weevils and many more. Azadirachtin is relatively harmless to insects that pollinate crops and trees, such as butterflies, spiders and bees; ladybugs that consume aphids; and wasps that act as a parasite on various crop pests. This is because neem products must be ingested to be effective. Thus, insects that feed on plant tissue succumb, while those that feed on nectar or other insects rarely contact significant concentrations of neem products.

Acute toxicity study of Bioneem to the Earthworm LC50 > 3000 mg / kg. Acute oral toxicity study of Bioneem to mice LD50 – 5650 mg / kg. Neem products are recognised in organic guidelines by IFOAM. Bioneem has been found to be compatible with most commonly used fungicides, insecticides and fertilizers. Physical compatibility should first be checked out. (Read label).

Do not apply in temperatures above 30 degrees C. Bioneem is an emulsifiable concentrate.

APPLICATION RATES: vary between 300 ml – 500 ml per 100 L water, depending on the growth stage of plant and insect pressure.

This product is a patented, fixed copper fungicide, made by combining a soluble copper fertilizer with a naturally occurring fatty acid.  The copper and the fatty acid combine to form a copper salt of the fatty acid, known technically as soap.

The copper soap fungicide controls many common diseases using low concentrations of copper, down as low as 90 ppm.  The net result is an excellent vegetable, fruit and ornamental fungicide.  It decomposes to form soluble copper, and fatty acid, both of which can be used by microbes and plants.

The copper soap is suited for use in domestic circumstances, both indoors and outdoors.  This product controls diseases of a wide range of plants, including many vegetable, fruit and ornamentals.  As with most fungicides it acts to protect plants from infection.  Therefore, it is important to have the coppersoap on the leaf, flower or fruit before the pathogen is able to cause an infection.  This product will control fungal diseases such as : powdery mildew and downy mildew on vegetables and ornamentals, rust on ornamentals, late blight on potatoes and tomatoes, and Peronospora and downy mildew on grapes.

APPLICATION RATES: 500 ml – 1 500 ml per 100ℓ water, use the higher dosage under high infection periods.

This product is a unique blend of slug and snail bait additives with an iron phosphate active ingredient.  The iron phosphate is used as an ingredient in fertilizers and occurs in soil. The bait is attractive to snails and slugs and lures them from their hiding places and plants.  Ingestion even in small amounts will cause them to cease feeding.  This physiological effect of the bait gives immediate protection to the plants.

After eating the bait, the slugs and snails become less mobile and begin to die within three to six days.

This product is effective against a wide range of slugs and snails and will give protection to lawns, gardens, greenhouses, outdoor ornamentals, vegetable gardens, fruits, berries, citrus and crop plants.

The bait can be scattered on the lawn or on the soil around any vegetable plants, flowers or fruit trees or bushes to be protected.

The slugs and snails controlled by this product include: Deroceras spp., Arion spp., Limax spp., Helix spp. and Cepaea spp.

APPLICATION RATES:  5g pellets per  square metre.
