Mixability

It mixes with most insecticides and fungicides.

Characteristics – features

A water-emulsifying mineral oil for controlling scale insects (citrus purple scale, citrus wax scale, red and black scale, olive scale, fig wax scale, fig cup scale). It is also effective against mealybugs. It mechanically kills insect pests by coating them with a thin layer of oil, preventing respiration and causing suffocation. It can be mixed with most insecticides and fungicides. It is worth noting that mixing leads to excellent results in controlling insect and fungal pests due to the high diffusion and adhesion properties of polyol oil, which also facilitates the penetration of the pesticide into the pest.
