In vegetable farming, aphids can devastate crops by feeding on sap, stunting plant growth, spreading viruses, and promoting mold via honeydew secretion. Crops like dill, carrots, and broad beans are particularly vulnerable—often lacking approved chemical insecticides for aphid control. This leaves growers with limited, unsatisfactory options. But there's now a better solution: Pest-Kote®, a revolutionary, non-toxic product developed with 3D-IPNS™ technology that physically immobilizes pests—without leaving harmful residues.

Aphids reproduce rapidly and attack by sucking plant juices, causing: -
Curling and yellowing of leaves
Stunted growth
Sooty mold growth from honeydew
Transmission of plant viruses
For niche crops like dill, carrots, and broad beans, pest control options are often unregistered or chemically harsh—putting farmers in a tough spot.

Outdoor crops (like dill, carrots, broad beans):

Rate: 6.5 to 9.5 fl. oz./acre

Water volume: At least 50–65 gallons/acre

Buffer spray water: pH 5.0–7.5

Contact action: Direct spray on aphids—no residual effect, pests must be hit

*Always avoid spraying during bee foraging times and follow label precautions to protect pollinators and aquatic life

𝐈𝐬 𝐏𝐞𝐬𝐭-𝐊𝐨𝐭𝐞® 𝐒𝐚𝐟𝐞?

Yes. It’s:

- Non-toxic to crops when used as directed

- No effect on beneficial instincts after it dries

- Safe for pre-harvest use—apply up to the day before harvest

- Eco-friendly—made with OMRI-compliant ingredients

However, avoid applying directly to flowering trees or during active pollinator visits to minimize environmental impact
