Skram Plant Wash
Skram Plant Wash is made entirely from non-toxic bio-degradable ingredients and works as a fantastic contact spray for nearly all pest issues.
Being a contact spray and containing no pesticides means that bugs cannot form any resistance to the solution over a period of time making it always effective. It will also help remove unwanted dirt and contaminants from plants such as mould and mildews.
- Fits well with IPM, ICM and biological control programmes.
- Provides fast and long-acting control of pest populations when applied as per instructions.
- Controls strains of insects and mites resistant to other active substances and has no cross-resistance with insecticides or acaricides. Has no residual activity, is safe for use on all edible crops and ornamental plants and degrades rapidly in the environment.
- It has minimal impact on bees, pollinators, beneficial arthropods and biological control programmes.
- Assists in the removal of biofilms and general cleaning.
- Improved harvested crop shelf life.
- Effective at disrupting zoospore plasma membranes, thus preventing the ability of the spores to move in nutrient streams and infect plants.
How to use
Add 15ml SKRAM to 1 Litre make-up water. Spray every 3-10 days.
Apply in the period of day when the pest is likely to be most vulnerable to contact. Aim to target all stages, especially juveniles. Preferably treat in the morning, in warm temperatures, avoiding the peak heat of the day.
Works against Whitefly, Aphids, Russet mites, Thrips, Spider mites and most adult pests – these will be washed away quickly. However, insects that have not been coated properly with SKRAM may live up to 24 hours before falling off the plant. Aphids never seem to move once they have been in contact with SKRAM. This may appear like they are still attached, but upon closer inspection, they can be brushed from the leaf. Mealy bugs are very hard to remove, but SKRAM removes them quickly once it has penetrated their webbing.
