- Aphid

NatraSoap has no withholding period and is an Australian Organic Registered Farm Input for products that are used in organic farming or processing.
How Does it Work?
NatraSoap is a contact insecticide that requires good coverage for high efficacy. When direct contact with the pest occurs Natrasoap begins to break down the insect Trachea, once applied Natrasoap becomes surface-active allowing a different mode of action to reduce the potential for the development of pest resistance.
Enhanced pest control performance will be achieved by pre-mixing with SprayTech Oil. This will increase droplet deposition and retention resulting in improved rainfastness.
NatraSoap is considered a selective insecticide due to its minimal adverse effects on other beneficial insects, including bees and predatory mites.
NatraSoap is highly effective and can be used as part of an Integrated Pest Management (IPM), for the following reasons:
- Approved for use in organic crops
- Biodegradable with low toxicity to vertebrates
- Multiple modes of action reduce the potential for the development of pest resistance
- No Withholding Period
NatraSoap is cost-effective and has nil residual, making it safe in the environment and enabling immediate re-entry by workers of the target location. NatraSoap may be applied up to the day of harvest.
