How to Keep Your Garden Healthy and Pest Free

with Delma & Jonathan Harrison the proud owners of Palmers Remuera

Palmers Remuera has retained all the qualities that go hand in hand with its status as one of the oldest established garden centres in New Zealand. They have kept pace with every new development to ensure they remain at the forefront of horticultural developments.

 

Delma and Jonathan provide the following tips on the best way to achieve maximum protection for the next 6 months by following a spray programme with the help of Grosafe’s Insecticide Range.

Palmers Garden

Grosafe’s GroVentive® Garden is a new, two way systemic insecticide, with a high level of safety to bees. Using GroVentive® Garden will control and prevent re-infestation of chewing and sucking insects, protecting your plants for up to 4 – 6 weeks.

 

Grosafe’s BioNeem® is an organic certified insecticide registered for use on all fruit and vegetable crops and ornamentals to control chewing and sucking insects. BioNeem® has antifeeding and repellent properties.

 

Grosafe’s EnSpray 99® Spraying Oil, is another certified organic insecticide for controlling chewing and sucking insects on your edible crops and ornamentals. EnSpray 99® inhibits eggs, nymphs an adult insects and mites breathing resulting in suffocation, as well as affecting feeding and egg laying.

Our Suggested Spray Programme

 

GroVentive® Garden is the foundation spray andwe recommend using this for the initial treatment early in the season to protect against insect infestation. Monitor pest pressure and repeat again 3-4 weeks later and up to 3 to 4 sprays during the growing season if insect pressure is persistent. For enhanced performance and efficacy we strongly encourage using it with Grosafe EcoSpread®.

 

For all edible crops and ornamentals, apply BioNeem® when the pests are first seen and reapply 1-2 weeks later if necessary. Apply EnSpray 99® every 3-4 weeks to protect your edible crops and ornamentals.

 

Both BioNeem® and EnSpray 99® are contact sprays so good coverage is essential. EcoSpread® enhances the performance of these insecticides, as well as having a 3 minute rainfastness after spraying.
