Sierra Natural Science SNS 209 Systemic Pest Control - 5 Gal

Botanical Systemic Pest Protection for Larger Grows - 5 Gal

Sucking and chewing pests can damage plants from the root zone up, and growers need a product that works where those pests feed. SNS 209 is a botanical-extract concentrate that the plant takes up, so the active ingredient reaches the tissue pests feed on. It is made of 100% pure botanical extracts and is exempt from EPA registration as a minimum risk pesticide under FIFRA section 25(b).

The 5 Gal container suits growers who treat often or cover many plants, such as a regular indoor grower, a greenhouse operation or a small commercial site. The concentrate mixes at low rates, so one container supplies many batches of solution. Hobbyists with a few plants may prefer a smaller size from the same line.

Key Features & Benefits

• Systemic action — the plant takes up a small amount of rosemeric acid, which builds a barrier in the plant's cell walls that is harmless to the plant.
• Three application methods — mix for a soil drench, foliar spray or row crop use.
• Botanical formulation — 100% pure botanical extracts that are highly water soluble.
• Organic gardening certification — certified for use in organic gardening.
• Mixes with related products — compatible with SNS-203, SNS-604A, SNS-604B, SNS-PC and SNS-DC.

Who Should Use SNS 209 Systemic Pest Control

Use it if you run greenhouses, hydroponic systems, home gardens or row crops and want a botanical insecticide with a low mixing rate. It fits growers who need one concentrate for root-zone and foliar treatment. Always follow the product label.
