QUELAFERT® OLEO-K

Potassium soap

Potassium soap of natural origin, indicated as an insecticide and as a cleaner of the aerial parts of crops from molasses and stains produced by insects and mites such as whiteflies, aphids, and scale insects.

The product is an insecticide that does not create resistance and acts by contact, destroying the cell membrane of insects, mites and nymphs, as well as dissolving the chitin of the insect’s exoskeleton.

Due to its ability to dissolve molasses, it increases the sensitivity of insects to any other agrochemical and can even dehydrate them, causing their death. For this reason, its use as a moisturizer is recommended since, when mixed with other products, it acts as an enhancer of the insecticidal effect.

CHARACTERISTICS OF QUELAFERT® OLEO-K

The product is an insecticide that does not create resistance and acts by contact, destroying the cell membrane of insects, mites and nymphs, as well as dissolving the chitin of the insect’s exoskeleton.

Due to its capacity to dissolve honeydew, it increases the sensitivity of insects to any other agrochemical and can even dehydrate them, causing their death. For this reason, it is recommended for use as a wetting agent, as when mixed with other products it acts as an insecticide enhancer.

Due to the natural nature of the product, it should be applied during the hours of least sunlight.

It should be used by thoroughly wetting the plant as it acts by contact, focusing on those parts that are more difficult to access, where the insect can take refuge.

OLEO K is compatible with biological control as it does not affect beneficial organisms.
