Description
Fermented Hot Chillies – Neem – Garlic – Ginger
Symbiotic Microbes Pesticide (SMP) is a versatile natural insecticide that keeps pests at bay. It controls fruit flies, white flies, aphids, weevils, leafhoppers, mealybugs, and other pests. The high concentration of fermented neem and chillies gives your plants lasting protection from pests without causing damage to the environment.
Additional Benefits
- SMP has antibacterial, fungicidal, insecticidal, and nematicidal properties.
- It repels insects and inhibits them from feeding on plants. Insects will avoid treated plants or cease eating them after digesting them.
- It disrupts the growth, metamorphosis, and reproduction of many pests.
- It can inhibit moulting in larvae, preventing them from developing into pupae.
- It repels insects and acts as a poison or irritant that might kill several pests.
- It is effective against various stages of the pest’s life cycle, including eggs, larvae, and adults.
What are Symbiotic Microbes?
Symbiotic Microbes (SM) are a diverse blend of naturally occurring beneficial bacteria, fungi and yeasts that work together to improve soil quality and encourage healthy plant growth. They add more life to soil and assist with the decomposition of organic matter, producing nutrient-rich soil for plants, strengthening plants, and helping fight pests.
Ingredients
Symbiotic microbes, fermented herbs (neem, hot chillies, garlic and ginger), sulphur-free blackstrap molasses, raw apple cider vinegar, natural ethanol, and fountain water.
How to use SMP
- Foliar spray/soil drench
- Foliar spray: 2-5ml per litre of water (spray upper and lower surfaces of leaves)
- Soil drench: 5-10ml per litre of water
- Pest and disease prevention
- 2-5ml per litre of water once a week
- You may alternate weekly with Symbiotic Microbes with Algae (SMA) or Symbiotic Microbes with Fermented Nutrients (SMFN)
- Pest and Disease Outbreak
- 2-5ml per litre of water daily for at least 12 days
- You may alternate daily with Symbiotic Microbes with Algae (SMA) or Symbiotic Microbes with Fermented Nutrients (SMFN). Start the first day with 10-15ml per litre of water. From the second day, use 2-5ml per litre of water.
When to apply
DO NOT apply in direct sunlight. It is best to use it late afternoon or early morning before the soil and leaves are exposed to direct sunlight. The microbes will attach to the leaf surface or enter the soil, feeding the plant and providing excellent organic fertilisation and resistance to pests and diseases.
Storage and Shelf Life
Store in a cool, dark place out of direct sunlight. SMP contains living organisms, and pressure may build up. Unscrew the cap without removing it to release the pressure and secure it tightly. Shelf life is six (6) months when it is stored correctly.
