Dipel DF biological insecticide 5kg
DIPE5
Dipel is a biological insecticide that controls caterpillars (larvae of moths and butterflies). It works when larvae eat treated leaves, so good coverage is essential.
Mixing Instructions
General Mixing Steps 1. Fill your spray tank halfway with clean water. 2. Start agitation (stirring or recirculation). 3. Add the required amount of Dipel. 4. Top up the tank with water to the final volume. 5. Keep the mixture agitated while spraying.
Compatibility - Safe to mix with most commonly used insecticides and fungicides.
- Do NOT mix with alkaline products (e.g., lime sulfur, Bordeaux mixture). - If unsure, do a jar test: mix small amounts in a jar and check for clumping or separation.
