K+ NEEM INSECTICIDE - FUNGICIDE
|
Organica's K+ Neem is a unique and environmentally friendly product formulated to provide homeowners with an effective alternative to chemically based insecticides and fungicides. This water based, alcohol free, formulation controls a wide range of mites and insect pests and is also effective against powdery mildew disease. K+ Neem is the natural choice for vegetables, herbs, trees, shrubs, roses, houseplants and turf.
The manufacturing process begins with "cold pressed neem oil", which is extracted from the seeds of the Indian neem tree. These botanical oils are then put through a proprietary saponification process (it is made into a soap), the end result is a unique insecticidal / fungicidal soap derived entirely from a natural source. The fatty acids that comprise K+ Neem differ from the fatty acids found in conventional insecticidal soaps.

This unique fatty acid profile provides K+ Neem with exceptional insecticidal, miticidal and fungicidal properties. Organica does not use any solvents in either the extraction or manufacturing process to compromise the integrity of the product.
Organica's K+ Neem is a contact insecticide / miticide. Unlike conventional azadirachtin based neem products, which are insect growth regulators, K+ Neem kills insects and mites in all stages of instar development! Moreover because the mode of action is mechanical in nature insects and mites do not build up a resistance to it. Organica's unique formulation is also effective at killing powdery mildew hyphae, colonies and spores. Apply to leaf surface at first appearance of disease and reapply at 7 - 10 intervals for continued disease control.
This naturally derived formulation allows the applicator to effectively control insect, mite and powdery mildew populations while simultaneously reducing personal and environmental exposure to synthetic chemicals. K+ Neem is safe enough for use on food crops up until the day of harvest. STOP wondering which "environmentally friendly" insecticide / fungicide to utilize the choice is clearly Organica's K+ Neem.

GENERAL APPLICATION RATES
Production Farming /Ornamentals (roses, crops, trees, shrubs, annuals and perennials)
Thoroughly shake or stir K+ Neem Concentrate thoroughly prior to diluting with water. Since no synthetic surfactants are used in the formulation separation will occur. Make up a 1:50 spray dilution (0.5 % of active ingredient) with 1 part Organica K+ Neem Insecticidal Soap Concentrate to 50 parts soft water or 2.5 ounces of concentrate in 1 gallon of soft water. Thoroughly wet all sides of infested leaves and branches. Make sure spray penetrates through dense foliage to wet all infested surfaces. See label for specific concentrations for specific pests and disease.
Turf (golf courses, sports turf, landscape)
Shake or stir K+ Neem Concentrate thoroughly prior to diluting with water. Make up a 1:50 spray dilution and apply 1 quart of finished spray per 110 sq. ft. / 100 gallons of finished spray per acre. This equates to 2 gallons of concentrate per acre.
APPLICATION GUIDELINES
- Organica K+ Neem Concentrate
should only be mixed with soft water. If product is
mixed with hard water (mineral content exceeds 300
ppm) it may affect the solubility of the concentrate
causing separation or a scum to appear. This
separating can affect product performance and cause
spray equipment to clog. If the mineral content of
tank water exceeds 300 ppm treat the tank with 8 - 32
oz of an anionic buffering / softening agent per 100
gallons of water. After water has been softened add
the K+ Neem concentrate and thoroughly mix / agitate.
Use of conditioned water also reduces the risk of
phyto-toxicity. A de-foaming agent may be used to
reduce foaming in sprayers with an agitator.
- Always use freshly mixed
solutions to attain optimum results
- DO NOT use this product in
combination with foliar nutrients, spreader stickers,
penetrators, alkaline (cationic) based chelating
agents such as EDTA or with pesticides containing
sulfur or metallic ions (such as manganese, iron, zinc
etc.)
- Never apply in full sun or when
temperatures exceeds 85 degrees F. Spraying in evening
or early morning helps increase effectiveness by
lengthening drying time
- Check label for list of plants
that have shown sensitivity to K+ Neem Insecticidal
Soap before applying product
- READ ENTIRE LABEL BEFORE APPLYING PRODUCT
APPLICATION TIMING
- Apply product, at the specified
dilution, to coincide with first appearance or
emergence of insect or mite pests, or when pest damage
is first observed. Spray for ADELGIDS, PSYLLIDS and
SCALES during periods of peak egg hatch and crawler
activity. Contact pests with spray solution and
thoroughly wet all surfaces of infested leaves,
branches and stems
- Retreat after 2 or 3 days for
continued contact and kill of APHIDS, MEALY - BUGS and
WHITEFLIES. Spray again 14 days later
- For persistent infestations of
other listed pests (SEE LABEL), spray 2 or 3 times (at
weekly intervals) until pest control is achieved
- Limit all treatments to a total of 3 applications, unless accumulated soap residues have been removed by rainfall or overhead irrigation.
