Organic:
Bacillus Subtilis
A biological fungicide containing a strain of the bacterium Bacillus subtilis.
The bacterial spores occupy space on the plant surface, and compete with the pathogens; then active compounds called lipopeptides, produced by the bacterium, disrupt the germination, and growth of invading pathogens.
Due to this action, resistance is not likely to develop.

Neem oil
A naturally occurring pesticide, found in seeds from the neem tree.              Â
Azadirachtin is the most active component here.                                                       Â
It reduces insect feeding and acts as a repellent.
It also interferes with insect hormone systems, making it harder for insects to grow and lay eggs.

Hydrogen peroxide –
Well known as an ingredient in disinfectant products, it’s now also approved for controlling microbial pests, on crops growing indoors and outdoors, and on certain crops after harvest.
This active ingredient prevents, and controls bacteria, and fungi by destroying essential components of the cells.

Mineral oil
Covers the egg, larvae, nymph and adult stages, causing suffocation.
It leaves no toxic residue on plants.
