Sierra Natural Science SNS 209 Systemic Pest Control - 1 Gal - Concentrate

Systemic Plant Protection From a Concentrate You Dilute - 1 Gallon

Feeding pests are hard to manage when they sit on leaves in one place and at the roots in another. This concentrate is applied as a soil drench or foliar spray. Plants take up a small amount of the rosemary-based active ingredient and spread it through their cell walls, forming a barrier that pests meet when they feed. The active ingredient is rosemary oil at 10.23%.

The 1 gallon bottle suits regular indoor growers, small greenhouses and hydroponic setups that treat on a routine schedule. Because the product is concentrated, one container covers many mixed gallons. Large commercial operations can look at the larger sizes the manufacturer offers.

Key Features & Benefits

• Systemic mechanism — the plant takes up the active ingredient, so the barrier extends beyond the surface you spray.
• Two application methods — use it as a soil drench or as a foliar spray, depending on where you see the problem.
• Concentrated formula — you mix a small amount per gallon of water, so storage and handling stay manageable.
• 0-day restricted entry interval — you can re-enter treated areas without a waiting period.
• Mixing compatibility — the manufacturer lists SNS-203, SNS-604A, SNS-604B, SNS-PC and SNS-DC as compatible.

Who Should Use SNS 209 Systemic Pest Control

Growers in greenhouses, hydroponic systems, home gardens and row-crop operations who want a plant-uptake approach to feeding pests. The label lists whiteflies, cabbage maggots and most boring insects among its target pests. Check that it is available in your state before ordering.
