Maven SKRAM (Concentrate) Antifeedant Pest Prevention

Description

GENERAL DIRECTIONS

The Triple P® (Plant Promotion Products) range is formulated for the protection of professional plant growth programmes in conjunction with Integrated Pest Management (IPM), Integrated Crop Management (ICM) and Biological Control Programmes. It delivers effective control of aphids, whiteflies, thrips and spider mites, mealybugs, leafhoppers, psyllids, suckers and scale insects when applied as a contact penetration foliar spray. It also provides effective control of common root rot diseases, spread via zoosporic fungi such as pythium and phytophthora, when added to the nutrient solution or irrigation water.

SKRAM® is active on contact with the pest body. SKRAM® contains medium chain fatty acid nonionic surfactants. These are effective as the lipophilic carbon chains penetrate the external body wall of target pests and interact with multiple vital metabolic processes. The first visible effect is the immediate cessation of feeding activity (antifeedant effect). This results in reduced feeding, egg laying and egg viability.

SKRAM® is also effective at disrupting zoospore plasma membranes, thus preventing the ability of the spores to move in nutrient streams and infect plants. The addition of SKRAM®  to nutrient solutions can significantly increase crop yields and has been found to increase water use efficiency by making root membranes more permeable, thus allowing more nutrients to be absorbed by the roots. SKRAM® can also act as a synergist with plant hormones giving further growth boosting effects.

BENEFITS OF SKRAM® USE

Provides fast and long acting control of pest populations when applied as per instructions.

Fits well with IPM, ICM and Biological Control Programmes.

Controls strains of insects and mites resistant to other active substances and has no cross resistance with insecticides or acaricides.

Provides high levels of security to users and the environment.

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.

Assist in removal of biofilms and general cleaning.

Improved harvested crop shelf life.

Effective control of common root rot disease pathogens.

Increases nutrient bioavailability and plant growth rates.

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS

INDOOR PLANTS: Flush the growing media to reduce fertiliser levels to feed strength or below. Allow the plant to hydrate for 30 minutes, before spraying leaves and stems. Turn HID lighting down. No restrictions for fluorescent or LED lighting.
OUTDOOR PLANTS: Apply to hydrated plants. Use early or late in the day. Avoid spraying at midday.

Use minimal agitation during preparation to avoid foaming. Preferably use reverse osmosis (RO) make-up water. Avoid hard water. Use the diluted spray solution immediately. Ensure complete wetting of different areas of plant (including underside leaves) and target pests. Apply with a suitable spray which delivers even coverage (with slight run-off). Only apply when plants are fully hydrated. Do not apply in extreme heat or high light intensity. 

STANDARD PROPHYLACTIC MAINTENANCE RATE

Add 15ml SKRAM® to 1L make-up water. Spray every 3-10 days.

INFESTATION TREATMENT RATE

Add 15ml-30ml SKRAM® to 1L make-up water. Spray once per day for 3 days, then once every 3 days.
