- Green Oil 930 EC is a summer paraffinic mineral oil in the form of an emulsifiable concentrate (EC) containing 93% paraffin oil. It acts as a non-systemic insecticide and acaricide with a direct contact action. Its mechanism of action relies on the formation of an oily film that coats the insect's body and blocks its respiratory openings, leading to suffocation and death. Therefore, its effectiveness depends on achieving complete and uniform spray coverage. It is used to control scale insects, aphids, and spider mites in citrus, date palms, pome fruits, almonds, olives, and ornamental plants as part of regular spraying programs in large farms and agricultural projects.
Product Features
- It works by a physical mechanism (suffocation and covering) that is effective against scale insects and the mobile stages of spiders and aphids.
- Non-systemic, making it suitable for integrated control programs and reducing the likelihood of resistance emerging.
- It helps to weaken eggs and insects covered with a waxy layer when full spray coverage is achieved.
- Summer oil suitable for use during the plant's active season within a temperature range of 5-35 degrees Celsius.
- A short prohibition period (3 days) provides flexibility in the timing of spraying before harvest.
- A 20-liter container is suitable for farms that rely on periodic spraying of large areas.

A tip from Orchid 🌿
- In large areas, the success of oils depends as much on the calibration of the spraying machine and the stability of the nozzle pressure as on the dosage. Therefore, ensure a smooth and uniform spray that guarantees the oil film reaches all parts of the plant to achieve the best control result.
