Emulsifiable Botanical Oil 850 g/L

eco-oil is a registered organic miticide and insecticide. It controls a range of problem insects including scale, aphids, two-spotted mite, whitefly, mealybugs and citrus leafminer. Safe for use on veggies, as well as ornamentals, with no withholding period. Spray and eat on the same day! Also safe for beneficial insects like bees, ladybeetles and earthworms.

eco-oil is now HIPPO Enhanced!
HIPPO Enhanced eco-oil is a revolutionary approach to pest control and is the results of a 3 year research project with Charles Sturt University.

The project investigated the natural defense mechanisms of plants, in particular the way plants produce volatile organic compounds when being attacked by pests. These compounds act as SOS messages to beneficial insects letting them know that tasty snacks are on nearby plants! A whole range of beneficial insects are attracted including ladybeetles, lacewings, hoverflies and parasitoids.

The HIPPO Enhanced eco-oil formulation replicates this defence mechanism by including these organic compounds into spray. The research clearly showed that the HIPPO Enhanced eco-oil will attract beneficial insects into the garden. Pretty amazing hey?
So use HIPPO Enhanced eco-oil to kill those troublesome pests and at the same time it will attract beneficial insects to help get your garden ecosystem into better balance.

Features:
• 100% plant oils – contains no petroleum derivatives like the other oil sprays
• Kills a broad range of common pest insects but remains safe for beneficial insects like bees, ladybirds and lacewings

APVMA Reg. No: 51403

eco-oil is a registered organic botanical miticide and insecticide concentrate that is diluted with water and applied as a foliar spray - it is NOT applied with a dedicated hand sprayer unit. Shake the concentrate well, then mix at the label rate for your target pest: 5 mL per 1 L of water for two-spotted mite, aphids and sooty mould on tomatoes, cucumbers, capsicums, strawberries and ornamentals; 10 mL per 1 L of water for greenhouse whitefly, mealybug, scale and citrus leafminer. As a spray additive with other products, use 5 mL per 2 L of water. Spray to thoroughly wet both the upper and lower leaf surfaces to run-off - good coverage is essential. Tips: Apply in the cool of the morning or late afternoon and do not spray when temperatures are above 35°C or onto heat- or moisture-stressed plants. For general pests apply two sprays 3-5 days apart (maximum three sprays per 4-8 week period); for scale and mealybug apply two sprays 7 days apart; for citrus leafminer apply every 5-14 days over new flush growth. There is no withholding period - spray and harvest the same day. Test on a small area of sensitive plants (e.g. ferns) first. Disclaimer: Always read and follow the registered product label before use. The rates above are a general guide taken from the registered eco-oil label (APVMA approval no. 51403); confirm the current rate and directions for your pest and plant from the label on the pack.
