TetraCurb MAX Concentrate Miticide-Insecticide is a highly effective, botanical oil-based biopesticide that targets a broad spectrum of mites and small, soft-bodied insects. This 1-gallon concentrate is designed for professional growers seeking a sustainable, natural pest control solution for all types of crops, including commercial specialty crops, fruits, vegetables, nuts, citrus, and ornamentals. TetraCurb MAX's unique formulation includes castor oil (20%), rosemary oil (10%), clove oil (3%), and peppermint oil (2%), which work together to combat pest infestations while promoting healthy crop growth.
TetraCurb MAX offers multiple modes of action to control and repel pests:
- Paralysis: The botanical oils affect insect-specific octopamine receptors, leading to paralysis and death.
- Suffocation: Castor oil provides strong pest suffocation by blocking air from entering the spiracle.
- Desiccation: The formula disrupts the pest's waxy cuticle, resulting in dehydration and death.
- Repellent Effect: The vapors from TetraCurb MAX induce hyperactivity and avoidance, preventing pests from establishing on your crops.
This contact miticide-insecticide is ideal for integrated pest management (IPM) programs due to its resistance management benefits. It can be applied year-round with no label restrictions or limitations on the number of applications per cropping season. TetraCurb MAX has a zero-day Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI) and a zero-hour Re-Entry Interval (REI), providing growers with flexibility in pest control applications close to harvest without compromising safety.
TetraCurb MAX is compatible with all commercial specialty crops, including indoor and outdoor use in greenhouses, nurseries, orchards, and fields. As an OMRI-certified product, it meets the strict requirements for organic farming, making it a perfect fit for environmentally conscious growers.
