Now is the time to apply BlocCade
With this years' harvest nearing completion, attention will shortly be turning to pruning and plant health. To reduce the risk of very damaging diseases, apply BlocCade to every pruning wound - the go-to first aid for every cut made.
BlocCade is a physical coating for protecting plant wounds against infection caused by bacteria and fungi such as Eutypa, Botryosphaeria and Nectria, which leads to diseases such as fruit tree canker and dead arm disease.
BlocCade is applied directly to the plant wound and is most effective when used immediately after pruning to form a closed barrier against infection.
