Protect your crops against pests and disease with environmentally friendly SB Plant Invigorator
As an environmentally friendly and economical way to control a wide range of important pest species, SB Plant Invigorator (SBPI) will appeal to many growers. It's biodegradable, has no harvest interval and can be fully integrated within IPM programmes.
Trials have shown that a broad range of pest species can be controlled including:
Aphids (multiple species), whitefly, spider mites, mealybugs, hard scale, soft scale, bay sucker psyllids and powdery mildew.
SBPI has a physical mode of action, is not required to be registered as a plant protection product and is suitable for use on edible and ornamental crops.
"Having used SBPI on strawberries, raspberries and tayberries, I have found it the most comprehensive product we have ever used".
