Limited Free Sample Offer

I have become a wholesale/retail distributor for a novel class of pesticides that use natural, physical forces as a killing mode, rather than classic toxins.

SucraShield, made from sugar, works on a cellular level to extract moisture from eggs, pupae, larvae and soft-bodied adult insects and mites. I have been selling that for over a year, and recently used it to eradicate a boisduval scale infestation on some cymbidiums "buried" on the back of the bench.

Now I have a few samples (still waiting on pint bottles) of a topical fungus and disease treatment that uses nanoparticles of vegetable oil to breach the cell wall, resulting in its contents being spilled and the cell dying. This is nothing like ultrafine- or neem oil treatments, which coat and suffocate (and can cause oil-related phytotoxicity issues) as the nanoparticles of oil only make up less than 0.2% of the spray volume, and will not disperse as a film on the plants.

Anyone with a problem care to try a sample?

 

It's hard to say if one is better than the other.

SurcaShield is topical, the others are systemic.

Acephate and imidicloprid are effective against adult insects only. SucraShield is effective against eggs, larvae, pupae, and adults of both insects and mites.

Acephate has a Pre-Harvest Interval of 90 days, imidicloprid's is 30 days, and SucraShield's is zero.

SucraShield does not affect bees or birds, while the others are toxic to them.

 

That offer was over a year ago, so has long since expired. Sorry.
