Contains rosemary and peppermint oils PLUS Geraniol.
Indications
Keyplex Ecotrol Plus controls pests such as, but not limited to: mites (see section 3.1), aphids, beetles, thrips, whiteflies, caterpillars, and mealybugs. It can be used as a an effective standalone product, but is often used in a tank mix with other pesticides. When tank mixed it improves the efficacy of other contact pesticides by acting as an “exciter”; its odor confuses insects and causes them to move around on the plant.
Ecotrol Plus can be used in conjunction with TriTek against disease vectoring insects. When used against disease-vectoring insects that can transfer disease with only a few minutes of feeding (ex – whitefly in squash, tomatoes; beet leafhopper in tomatoes, peppers), it is recommended to use this combination every 3 days while whitefly is present.

Biomin Copper is indicated when copper levels in the plant are below desired levels and need to be quickly restored to optimum. Copper deficiency (and toxicity) in plants is determined by test, observation, or known nutritional needs of certain plants and/or systems. Copper is critical to many plant functions, but overuse of copper can easily lead to toxicity, so the type and amount of copper applied to crops should be carefully measured and monitored. Biomin amino acid chelated copper provides easily absorbable and “plant friendly” copper for immediate use by the plant. Small amounts of copper are also included in the various Biomin Booster multimineral products, such as Biomin Booster 126 and Biomin Booster 153.

Highly water soluble, organically acceptable source of nitrogen with potassium
Indications
Nitrogen deficiency in plants or soil. Allganic 15-0-2 is water soluble and so is especially useful when immediate Nitrogen uptake is needed, such as a shortage in the soil or periods of strong growth and fruiting of crops. Being that this product in the Nitrate form, it is also especially useful in biological/organic growing systems where most of the Nitrogen is supplied in the form of ammonium. Many plants do best when supplied with Nitrogen in both of these forms.

For the control of bacteria and fungi in water or ice that contacts raw or fresh, post-harvest or further processed fruits and vegetables.
For the control of sulfides, odor, slime and algae in water systems.
To clean slime and algae from drip system filters, tapes and emitters.
For use on precleaned surfaces such as equipment, pipelines, tanks, vats, filters, evaporators, pasteurizers, and aseptic equipment in dairies, breweries, wineries, beverage and food processing/packing plants, and egg processing/packing equipment surfaces.

Biomin Cal-Boro is indicated when Calcium and Boron levels in the plant are below desired levels and need to be quickly restored to optimum. Calcium and/or Boron deficiency in plant determined by test, observation, or known nutritional needs of certain plants and/or systems. Biomin amino acid chelated Cal Boro provides easily absorbable and “plant friendly” Calcium and Boron for immediate use by the plant. Another Biomin product, Cal-Boro Light (5% Ca, 0.5% B), is generally recommended for the normal maintenance needs of most crops. Cal Boro (5% Ca, 1.0% B) is recommended in certain situations where additional Boron is needed. These are critically important nutrients for pollination, leaf growth, fruit formation, disease resistance and shelf life.

Selected strain of a naturally occurring parasitic fungus – Beauveria Bassiana
Wettable powder
Greenhouse/Nursery Label
Indications
Mycotrol WPO is a formulation of a strain of the naturally occurring insect parasitic fungus Beauvaria Bassiana (see more info here and here). It is labelled for greenhouse and nursery use. It has the ability to infect most insects, and is especially effective in high humidity environments. When applied in the soil it may interrupt the life cycle of what are typically thought of as above ground insect pests, such as cucumber beetles, thrip, flea beetles, etc.

MIXWELL is an acidifier, buffer, and complexing agent for fertilizer and pesticide solutions. It can be used to lower the pH of fertilizer and pesticide solutions in tank mixes and hence increase their effectiveness. It can also be used to make fertilizers more compatible (esp phosphate) to avoid precipitation.
Mixwell can also be used as a cleaning agent for equipment, including drip tape.
Issues with compatibility of fertilizers in tank mixes, esp precipitation issues as a result of poorly compatible tank solution components or poor quality water.
Rising pressures in drip irrigation systems may indicate emitter plugging. Mixwell can dissolve the precipitates that cause these problems.
