Green Oil 930 EC summer mineral oil for pest control of soft scales, mealybugs, and spiders 1 liter Green Oil 930 EC Green Oil 930 EC summer paraffinic mineral oil in the form of an emulsifiable concentrate EC, containing paraffinic oil at a concentration of 93% weight/weight. It is used to control a number of agricultural pests such as soft scales, mealybugs, spiders, whiteflies, and the mobile stage of some pests, by forming a thin oil layer covering the insect’s body and blocking the respiratory openings, which helps to suffocate it and reduce its spread when applied with good coverage. Green Oil 930 EC is a suitable option within integrated pest management programs, especially in programs that require a physical, non-neuroactive product, making it useful for reducing repeated reliance on chemical insecticides with neurotoxic mechanisms. Summer mineral oil for soft scales, mealybugs, and spiders Soft scales, mealybugs, and spiders are pests that can cause significant plant weakness due to sap absorption or damage to leaves and new growth. Mineral oils are especially important in these cases because they mainly work through coverage and contact, not systemic effects inside the plant. Green Oil 930 EC relies on forming a thin layer around the insect’s body or eggs or small stages, limiting respiration and helping to reduce their numbers. Therefore, the effectiveness of the product largely depends on the quality of coverage during spraying, especially on the underside of leaves, branches, areas where soft scales gather, and infected zones.
