Courage Systemic Insecticide | 50ml

Description

Courage Systemic Insecticide | 50ml is a water-soluble foundation insecticidal seed dressing for the control of pests in Maize, Natural Grazing, Sorghum, Sunflowers, and Wheat. It works by getting into the insects (pests) through feeding on the treated plants or contaminated soil.

Active ingredient: Imidacloprid (chloro-nicotine) 700g/kg

Dosage: 100g/2l water to 250g/2l water to 100kg seeds

Courage Systemic Insecticide Mode of Action:

Systemic insecticides are applied directly to the crop soil and seedlings in glasshouses using flowable solutions or granules, and often as seed dressings, with foliar applications and drenching being less common.

Being quite water-soluble, these insecticides are readily taken up by the plant roots or incorporated into the tissues of the growing plants as they develop, so the pests that come to eat them ingest a lethal dose and die.

MIXING INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Mix the required amount of Courage Insecticide with a small volume of water to form a smooth cream before adding the balance of the water. Mix thoroughly before adding to the seed.
2. Treat large quantities of seed conveniently in automatic seed dressing machines.
