  • Apply by hand or paint the stem, branches and trunk.
  • Can be diluted to a very thin consistency, strained and sprayed on dormant trees.

Citrus Care Kit
Warning to Victoria
Protect your trees from most citrus pests and the ants farming them. Mealy bug, scale and black sooty mould can be controlled so you get the delicious, home grown citrus you expect.
Eco-Oil: Used to suffocate on contact a wide range of insects, in all life stages and thought to have a repellent quality to flying female insects. Can also be used safely throughout the garden for control of whitefly, sap sucking insects and two spotted mite. Made from certified organic, Australian grown canola oil.
Horticultural Glue: Stops climbing insects in their tracks! Apply this glue around a tree trunk to prevent insects from climbing into the tree. Be very cautious if you are considering using a non-horticultural glue or other sticky substance on your plants; we hear many stories of people killing their trees this way.
Tree Wrap: To band the tree prior to applying the glue and make it easier to clean off or reapply glue if necessary. This horticultural clear tape is slightly elastic and 25 mm x 50 m.



Includes:
1 Tree Guard Glue 150ml tube
1 Eco-Oil 250 ml
1 Tree Wrap 25 mm x 50 metres

Eco-Oil BFA Organic
Eco-Oil is a registered miticide/Insecticide. It is a botanical oil that contains canola oil, eucalyptus oil, melaleuca oil and several surfactants. Surfactants help the oil stick to the leaf. It controls pests by contact, so complete coverage of plants is important. For best results spray at the first sign of infestation. Repeat application may be necessary. Eco-Oil controls citrus leafminer, scale, two-spotted mite, aphids, whitefly and various sap-sucking insects. Oil sprays should not be used at temperatures above 35°C. Do not apply to plants suffering heat or moisture stress. Application rate is 5-10 mL per litre of water.

How does it work?
When eco-oil is applied directly onto an insect, including aphids, mites and whiteflies it blocks the breathing holes and prevents the carbon dioxide from being expelled from the body. This effectively smothers the insect. For best results, spray at the first sign of infestation as a very unique feature of this product is called Herbivore Induced Plant Protection Odours (HIPPO). HIPPO mimics the compounds produced by plants when they're under attack - which attract beneficial insects to eat the pests in your garden. When eco-oil is applied to citrus leaves it prevent the nocturnal citrus leafminer moth from landing and laying her eggs into the leaves. Both the smell and the oil layer left by the spray deters the moth. Material Safety Data Sheet

Benefits of using eco-oil
  • eco-oil has no significant impact on beneficial insect numbers
  • under sunlight eco-oil dissipates faster than petroleum-based oils, resulting in less risk of phototoxicity
  • there is no withholding period when sprayed on edible crops
  • there is no chemical residue left on plants
  • no protective clothing needs to be worn
  • it smells better than petroleum-based oils
  • it is manufactured in Australia using Australian grown canola oil, which helps support Australian farmers

Natrasoap BFA Organic
Natrasoap is a soap spray made from potassium derived from vegetable oils. It is more effective than homemade soap sprays, leaves a zero residue, is totally biodegradable and will control most soft-shelled insects on contact including aphids, two-spotted mites, whiteflies, fungus gnats, thrips and mealy bugs. It works by blocking the insect's breathing pores and dissolving its outer covering, resulting in dehydration. There is no withholding period and it is non-toxic to mammals, birds and bees. Using ordinary soap as a spray should be avoided, as it will build undesirable levels of sodium in the soil and risks burning the leaves. Do not apply Natrasoap when temperatures are above 30°C. Suggested application rate is 15 - 30 ml per litre of water. (150 - 300 ml in 10 L). Material Safety Data Sheet
PB185
Spraytech Oil is a class of products applied in large scale farming applications (tractor mounted spray rigs) and used to help stick a spray to a plant's leaf surface. Combining the benefits of emulsifiable vegetable oil and non-ionic surfactants, it improves the performance of most pesticides, herbicides, insecticides or fungicides, by enveloping each chemical molecule, protecting it from breakdown in the spray vat and out in the field after application. This encapsulation will increase spray efficacy whilst reducing loss and odour. All Natrasoap labels recommend the use of Spraytech oil. Green Harvest does not stock this product as we feel for home garden applications, small frequent and targeted use of Natrasoap is more suitable and less expensive.
Predalure
  • attracts beneficial predatory insects. Field trials have shown increased populations by up to 500% of:
    • lacewings,
    • ladybirds,
    • hover flies,
    • predatory bugs, mites and beetles.
  • controlled release pheromone lure signals these 'good bugs' that their prey is present and they come hunting to find the food source
  • once opened it is dispensed over 90 days
  • take early preventative action. Most crops grow from seed to harvest in around 90 days
  • place one at crop height every 10 m in a garden, per large tree or where a pest 'hot spot' occurs
  • pesticide, chemical and toxic free
  • pests controlled at all life stages (eggs, larvae, adult): mealybugs, thrips, spider mites, aphids, caterpillars, whitefly, scale
