How It Works

Sulfur and Copper Oxychloride act as protectant fungicides. Sulfur is also a miticide. Spinosad, an insecticide derived from natural soil bacteria, controls tomato grubs and potato moth (tomato leaf miner).

Directions for use

Dust seedlings approximately 7 days after transplanting and repeat at 7-10 day intervals. Apply uniformly to foliage including underside of leaves. Dust when the air is still, preferably in the evening or early morning. Apply more frequently during rainy weather. Avoid excessive application to seedling tomatoes. Do not pick tomatoes for 3 days after dusting.

Effectiveness

After rain, it is necessary to dust again. Best results are achieved if used as preventative.

Precautions

DO NOT apply when soil is dry and plants are suffering from moisture stress. DO NOT apply in windy conditions or when temperatures are above 30ºC.
