PYRETHRUM 5EC controls aphids, blackfly, greenfly, caterpillars and white fly on organic flowers, fruit, and vegetables. For use outdoors, in greenhouses and on pot plants throughout the season. NOW APPROVED FOR APPLICATION THROUGH TRACTOR MOUNTED HORIZONTAL BOOM SPRAYERS. PYRETHRUM 5EC IS APPROVED FOR ALL CROPS

Whilst dried Chrysanthemum flowers (chrysanthemum cinerariaefolium) have been available in Europe for 150 years and were sold in most chemist shops for flea and louse control, liquid concentrates containing extracts from this flower miscible with water and suitable for spray application to crops had not been registered for use by the Pesticides Safety Directorate until now. 
Through the efforts of the Friends of Pyrethrum organisation a formulation using this natural insecticide is now registered and is suitable for use in Organic and non-organic farming, it kills insect pests quickly without leaving any toxic residuals. Approval by PSD and the Soil Association's approval of Pyrethrins now means that Pyrethrum 5EC is available for immediate control of Aphids, Blackfly, Greenfly, Whitefly,Thrips, Springtails, Caterpillars, Moths, red spider mite, Beetles and many other pest insects.
Pyrethrum 5EC has a wide range of contact action (non-systemic) against the majority of insect pests. Because of its very short persistance and low toxicity crops can be harvested 24 hours after application.

The complete solution

	Aphids Aphidoidae Aphids are sap-sucking insects that can be found on a very wide range of plants, and are one of the most common pests to attack garden plants. They are more commonly known as "greenfly" or "blackfly". Some aphids infect many different types of plant, others stick to only one or two and do not spread. Read more

	Fruit Flies Drosophila melanogaster Drosophila melanogaster is a fruit fly, a little insect about 3mm long, of the kind that accumulates around spoiled fruit. Read more

	Fungus Gnat . . Read more

	Greenfly . Green fly are teardrop sahped, 1-3mm in length, have six legs and may or may not have wings. They usually occur in large clusterson soft plant tissues such as new shoots and the undersides of leaves. They can be bright green but may be brown, grey or black. Read more

	Red Spider Mite . The mites are very small arachnids belonging to the group known as the Acarina. This is not a natural group, but a convenient "dustbin" erected by the biologists to contain an assortment of small arachnids which look alike in many respects but which are not closely related. The body is generally rather globular and there is no division into sections such as we find among the spiders. Adults normally have four pairs of legs, but the young stages have only three pairs. Some of the larger mites could be confused with small harvestmen, but the second pair of legs are never the longest in mites. Read more

	Ticks Ixodes holocyclus Ticks are members of the same phylum (Arthropoda) of the animal kingdom as insects, but are in a different class (Arachnida). The main difference is the body of a tick is composed of only two sections while insect bodies have three sections. Read more

	Tobacco Beetle Lasioderma serricorne Size: About 1/10 of an inch Color: Shiny brown The cigarette beetle has an oval shape and its head is not visible from above. This beetle looks very similar to a drugstore beetle, but can be distinguished by serrated antenna (like teeth on a saw) and its smooth wing covers that lack the puncture marks found on a drugstore beetle.

	Whitefly Trialeurodes vaporariorum These are similar to Greenfly but are not closely related, they are sap-suckers that are smaller than greenfly. Read more
