horti_oil_99_1L

Horti Oil 99 Insecticide Racun Serangga 99.0% (1L) is a horticultural mineral oil (active ingredient: mineral oil 99%).
It is not a chemical poison like most insecticides, but rather a physical-action insecticide.

Uses of Horti Oil 99

1. Target Pests

   • Controls soft-bodied pests such as:

     • Aphids

     • Whiteflies

     • Thrips

     • Scale insects

     • Mites

     • Mealybugs

2. Mode of Action

   • Works by suffocating insects and mites—the oil coats their bodies, blocking air exchange.

   • Also dissolves protective wax on insect eggs and larvae, reducing survival.

   • Helps in managing resistance when rotated with chemical insecticides.

3. Crops Commonly Treated

   • Fruits: citrus, mango, guava, papaya, banana.

   • Vegetables: chili, tomato, okra, brinjal, leafy vegetables.

   • Plantation crops: oil palm, rubber, cocoa.

   • Ornamentals and nursery plants.

4. Other Benefits

   • Can be used as a spreader-sticker (helps pesticides stick better on leaves).

   • Environmentally friendly and low toxicity to humans and animals.

   • Less harmful to beneficial insects compared to many synthetic insecticides.

 Precautions

• Do not apply under hot sun (can cause leaf burn) – best applied in the early morning or late evening.

• Avoid mixing with sulfur or sulfur-containing products (risk of phytotoxicity).

• Use correct dilution; never spray pure oil directly on plants.
