Description
Natural organic contact insecticide for control of sucking insects and spider mites on fruits, vegetables and ornamental plants. Very soft on beneficial insects.
This product is an environmentally friendly insecticidal soap with improved efficiency against soft-bodied insects and mites, particularly aphids, leafhoppers, mealy bugs, psyllids, scales and whitefly.
It is a patented formulation in which an adjuvant increases the spreadability and efficiency of the active ingredient.
Mode of Action
After spraying with Neudosan Neu, insects quickly die. The active ingredient disrupts the cell structure of soft-bodied insects causing the cell contents to leak out. The pests dehydrate in the spray liquid. It also damages the respiratory organs.
In contrast to insecticides, which attack the nervous system of insects, the dead pests remain attached to the leaves for a short while before they wither and drop off.
Use of beneficial organisms
Neudosan Neu makes the perfect complement to beneficial insect use. Neudosan Neu can be applied up to a few hours before using beneficial insects because once the spray has dried, there is no risk to beneficial organisms. If beneficial insects are present, Neudosan Neu can be applied for partial control of infestation.

How to use
Dosage:
- Mix 100 mℓ - 200 mℓ per 10 ℓ of water depending on level of infestation. This equates to 20 mℓ - 40 mℓ.
Directions:
- Use a Compression Sprayer with a fine mist setting to generously distribute the Neudosan solution over the plant canopy or affected areas.
- Ensure thorough wetting of plant including the under-side of leaves. Repeat treatment as necessary.
Advanced Directions:
- Neudosan Neu is applied as a 2 % solution
- Spray application with a high water volume: Neudosan Neu works only on direct contact. Therefore, the plants must be thoroughly wetted from all sides. It cannot be used in a fogger - must use a pressure sprayer.
-
Mix the spray liquid with soft water: Water hardness above 250mg/I calcium carbonate decreases the effectiveness. High iron content in the water can also
reduce the effectiveness. -
Spray at low temperatures and little direct sunlight:
The best time to spray with Neudosan Neu is in the early morning or late evening when temperatures are cooler and humidity is higher. The longer the plant surface remains wet after spraying (at least 10 minutes), the more effective the treatment. - Application interval tip: Neudosan Neu is effective against adult insects and older larval stages of whitefly as well as spider mite control. Repeat the application at intervals of 5-7 days to control the pests hatching from eggs or young larvae at a later stage. The spray should be applied in the early morning hours when the adult insects are still inactive on the leaves.
- Plant compatibility: Physical compatibility should first be checked by mixing the recommended dosages of the products in a small jar test. Then test the spray tank mix combinations for phytotoxicity on a sample of crops prior to use. Do not apply in temperatures above 30°C.
