Boun Oil 965 EC mineral oil for pest control of soft scales and spiders 20 liters Boun Oil 965 EC mineral oil paraffinic high purity, contains paraffinic oil at 96.5%, and comes as an emulsifiable concentrate EC. Used as a non-systemic insecticide and acaricide to help control soft scales, spiders, aphids, and some inactive stages of pests, especially on fruit trees, citrus, date palms, olives, and ornamental plants when used with complete coverage and at the appropriate timing. Boun Oil relies on a physical contact mechanism of action, forming an oil film that covers the pest's body and blocks respiratory openings, helping to reduce the number of targeted insects and spiders. It also helps dissolve the waxy layer that protects some soft scales, improving control efficiency with good spraying and adherence to usage instructions. Agricultural mineral oil for pest control of soft scales Agricultural mineral oils are important options in pest control programs, especially when the infestation involves soft scales, spiders, or aphids. Boun Oil 965 EC is distinguished by not relying on neurotoxic or systemic effects, but working physically through coverage and suffocation, which helps reduce the likelihood of resistance formation compared to some traditional pesticides when used correctly. The product is particularly effective in inactive stages, larvae, and some non-active stages, and can be integrated into IPM programs on fruit trees and ornamental plants, provided it is avoided in unsuitable conditions such as high temperatures, flowering, or stressed plants.

How to use Boun Oil 965 EC Use Boun Oil according to crop type and target pest, with a mandatory reading of the label before preparation and spraying. According to product data, the recommended doses are: Fruit trees like citrus and palms: for controlling soft scales, aphids, and spiders, use 1 to 1.5 liters per 100 liters of water. Pome and stone fruits: for controlling soft scales, use 0.75 to 1 liter per 100 liters of water. Olives: for controlling soft scales, use 1 to 1.5 liters per 100 liters of water. Ornamental plants: for controlling soft scales, aphids, and spiders, use 1 to 1.5 liters per 100 liters of water. Application method is by foliar spraying until complete wetting of all plant parts. Focus on the underside of leaves, pest gathering sites, branches, branching areas, and cracks in the bark when soft scales are present. For better coverage, use an appropriate sprayer from the manual agricultural sprayers section, or browse the spray equipment, fertilizers, and pesticides section to choose suitable spraying tools based on tree size and area. Best timing for using agricultural mineral oil The best results from Boun Oil are achieved with complete coverage of the plant, as the product works by contact only. Therefore, it should be used at a timing that allows the oil layer to stay on the pest without quick evaporation or stressing the plant. Prefer spraying early in the morning or before sunset, avoiding spraying during high temperatures or flowering. It is also recommended to use within a suitable temperature range of 5 to 35°C, avoiding spraying on stressed, thirsty, or heat-affected plants. Important warnings when using Boun Oil Do not use during flowering. Do not use on stressed or thirsty plants. Do not mix with sulfur or other oils. Do not use before or after sulfur within less than 3 weeks. Avoid high temperatures or windy conditions during application. Achieve full coverage of the plant, as poor coverage reduces control efficiency. Focus on the underside of leaves and pest gathering sites. Adhere to the pre-harvest interval, approximately 3 days as per product data and label instructions. Do not increase the dose arbitrarily to avoid stressing the plant or damaging leaves. Precautions for using Boun Oil 965 EC Read the full product label before use. Wear gloves, mask, and protective glasses during preparation and spraying. Avoid contact of oil with skin or eyes. Do not inhale spray mist during use. Do not eat, drink, or smoke during preparation or spraying. Wash hands and face thoroughly after finishing. Store the product in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep out of reach of children, animals, food, and feed. Do not reuse empty containers for other purposes. Dispose of empty containers safely according to instructions. Do not mix the product with any pesticide or fertilizer unless compatibility is confirmed. Role of Boun Oil in IPM programs Boun Oil can be integrated into IPM programs because it works via a physical mechanism different from many insecticidal and acaricidal pesticides. This makes it a suitable option to reduce pest pressure, especially for soft scales and dormant stages, while decreasing repeated reliance on chemical neurotoxic pesticides. Its success depends on good application; the oil does not give good results if it does not directly reach the pest body. Early treatment, complete coverage, and proper timing are key factors for product success. Frequently Asked Questions about Boun Oil 965 EC Is Boun Oil an insecticide or an agricultural oil?
