Sierra Natural Science SNS 203 Soil Drench & Foliar Spray - 1 Gal

One Concentrate for Root Drench and Foliar Application - 1 Gal

Moist soil and damp pot surroundings can invite pests that stress plants during vegetative growth and flowering. This concentrate gives you one botanical product for both root drench and foliar application, so you do not stock separate products for each method. Its active ingredients are clove oil and rosemary oil, and the product is exempt from EPA registration under FIFRA 25(b).

The 1 Gal bottle suits a regular indoor grower, a small greenhouse or a hydroponic operation that wants enough concentrate for repeated mixing without moving to bulk sizes. Commercial operations can look at the larger sizes the manufacturer offers.
