Directions for use

Application

Before applying the product: determine the level of infestation, estimate the extent of damage, and contact your authorized Koppert distributor or technician for advice specific to your situation.

  • Shake the tube to homogenize the content (the larvae attach themselves to the sides).
  • Release on small to medium outbreaks, in contact with the plant.
  • If necessary, release in a Dibox to prevent the larvae from falling on the leaves.

Handling

These auxiliaries have a very short life expectancy and should therefore be introduced into a crop as soon as possible after receipt, otherwise their quality may be affected. In the event that storage is necessary, Koppert is not responsible for any loss of product quality due to failure to follow the recommended storage conditions.

  • Store for a maximum of 1-2 days after delivery.
  • Storage temperature: 15-18°C
  • In darkness, with the box horizontal.
