Grape Products
A uniquely pure iso-paraffinic oil formulation designed for use in combination with and/ or as a stand-alone fungicide or insecticide. Certified for Organic production.
An emulsifiable, highly refined, agricultural spray oil to control pests and diseases on many horticultural crops in IPM programs for sustainable long-term control.
Designed to enhance the penetrating properties of post-emergent herbicides, fungicides and insecticides. Particularly suitable for cold water applications.
Extensive independent research has paved the way for an extension to BIOPEST®’s registration to include powdery mildew along with grapevine scale and mealybugs. Importantly the research also confirms the ability for BIOPEST® to deliver the same powdery mildew control as traditional sulphur-based spray programs.
BIOPEST®’s performance against a typical wettable sulphur formulation is presented in the table below.
