Rapeseed oil is extremely effective against the egg stages of pests and prevents hatching of larvae, plus coats the adult stages. Apply cautiously near beneficial insects to avoid harm. It is registered for use in SA. See label for application and more information. Pre-harvest period: 0 days. Re-Entry period: 0 days. MRL: 0ppm. Certified Organic.
Snail and Slug Control:
Slugs and snails damage plants by feeding on the leaves. When using chemical control, the decomposing bodies remain in the produce, that is not only unsightly they also contain chemical toxins. Biogrow’s Ferramol offers a friendly solution for pets, wildlife, and humans and is a natural molluscicide. Scatter Ferramol® near plants, the bait attracts the pest. Once ingested, Ferramol stops the slug and snails from feeding leading to death in 3-6 days. Made from Iron phosphate, a naturally occurring biodegradable compound, Ferramol decomposes along with affected snails and slugs, minimising environmental persistence. Its advanced granular formula remains effective even in heavy rain, swelling in wet weather and then dehydrating when conditions dry out to its original form. Ferramol® has a low toxicity to non-target organisms, including beneficial insects and microorganisms. Ferramol® is safe for use around pets, wildlife, and humans. It is registered for use in SA.

For preventative measures, spray Copper Soap on the leaf, flower or fruit before spores begin to germination. There is no visible residue, and it’s made from natural ingredients. It is odourless and easy to clean from equipment. Effective without a wetting agent. It is registered for use in SA. See label for application and more information. Certified Organic.

Suitable for all conditions. Registered for use in SA. Application details on the label.
Biotrissol
a foliar feed supplying vital macro & micronutrients. (3.1.5 NPK) derived from sugar beet. It strengthens plant, aiding flower development and can be used as a foliar feed or a drench. It combines well with other products. Biotrissol is registered for use in SA. Find application and more information on label. Certified Organic.
Water Saving Management:
Lack of rain, too much rain, over-watering indoor plants, forgetting to water indoor plants? Biogrow’s Integrate will solve watering problems, easily.

How to use Biogrow products to give you the best outcomes:
Here are guidelines to effectively use Biogrow products. We provide a versatile approach that suits roses, veggies, fruit trees, ornamentals, and general use. Given the natural ingredients of the Biogrow range, the products rapid breakdown, regular spraying is essential for prevention. Plant care involves nutrition, insect and disease control. By blending our products, all aspects of are addressed. Apply minimum dosage levels to maintain synergy and efficacy.
Insect Pest Control Spray Programmes:
Aim to control insect populations to a level where minimal damage is caused to the plants, veg & fruit.
During the growing season alternate at 10 – 14-day intervals between sprays for preventative maintenance:
• Bioneem at 10ml /1â„“ water – Low insect infestation, or, and a good option is to combined.
• Neudosan at 20 ml /1â„“ water – Signs of soft bodied insect activity
Under high insect infestation and increased plant damage, spray Pyrol at shorter intervals, every 7 days, to suppress the population of insects to a manageable level. Then continue with maintenance programme.
Bioneem is preventative and needs to be ingested to be effective. Bioneem will remain on the plants leaves for 3 - 7 days to provide prolonged control.
Use Neudosan for aphids or other soft-bodied insects. It will not offer control on any beetles or caterpillars, but will help with thrips, Psylla and whitefly.
Pyrol is a broad-spectrum control and can be used in a crisis management situation as a spot spray where problems exist. Pyrol is a contact insecticide which works best if it lands directly on the insect or is eaten by the insect within 12 hours of spraying.
For nocturnal pests, spray Pyrol late in the day to ensure consumption by the insect while the product is still active.
On edible crops the rule is SPRAY TODAY… EAT TOMORROW.
Always read the label and follow mixing instructions.
Insect Pest Control Spray Programmes:
Snail and Slug Control:
Scatter on the soil around or near the plants Biogrow’s Ferramol at 5g or 1 teaspoon per m2., depending on level of snail infestation, it may be necessary to use a bit more initially in order to bring the population under control, thereafter apply at 5g/m2 as a preventative measure. Re-apply once bait is consumed, or every 3 weeks. Evening is the best time to apply Ferramol, as slugs and snails travel and feed mostly by night or in the early morning. Pellets are rain fast and remain active even during heavy rains.
Fungal and Bacterial Control Spray Programmes:
Under dry conditions alternate your fungal programme at 14-day intervals. Under wet conditions decrease your spray interval, according to infectious periods, to a weekly application if necessary. Cool, warm, damp and humid weather conditions give rise to diseases.
Cool, humid, damp weather spray: Copper Soap at 10 – 20 ml/1â„“ water, alternating with
Phyta at 5ml/1â„“ water every 7 – 10 days.
Dry and warm conditions: same products and rates, increase spray interval to 14 – 21 days.
For Black Spot on roses continue with Copper Soap throughout the season.
Excellent general spray for roses, veggies, fruit and flower beds – mix together a cocktail of Copper Soap, Biotrissol and insecticide on your choice (Bioneem, Neudosan, Pyrol)
Tips:
• Start spraying before disease is visible.
• Re-apply after heavy rainfall.
• Ensure good coverage of plant.
• Spray in the early morning or late afternoon.
Copper Soap is a preventative product. It will control anthracnose, Downey and powdery mildew, botrytis and black spot.
Phyta is a preventative and remedial systemic product that will prevent downy and powdery mildew, botrytis, phytophtora and pythium. Read product label before use,
