Qareen Oil 930 AC mineral oil summer for controlling scale insects, aphids, and spiders, 20-liter capacity

Green Oil 930 EC Summer Mineral Oil for controlling soft scale insects, mealybugs, and spiders 20 liters Green Oil 930 EC Green Oil 930 EC Summer Paraffin Mineral Oil in an emulsifiable concentrate form, containing 93% paraffin oil, used as a non-systemic insecticide and acaricide for controlling soft scale insects, mealybugs, and spiders in citrus, palms, pome fruits, stone fruits, olives, and ornamental plants when used according to the label instructions. The product relies on a direct physical mode of action through contact, forming an oil film that covers the pest's body and blocks respiratory openings, helping to reduce infestation when full and uniform coverage is achieved. Therefore, it is a suitable option within integrated pest management programs, especially for pests requiring precise coverage such as soft scale insects, mealybugs, and spiders. Summer mineral oil for controlling soft scale insects, mealybugs, and spiders Soft scale insects, mealybugs, and spiders are pests that can cause growth weakness, yellowing, leaf deformities, or a decline in fruit quality when infestations increase. These pests often require precise coverage because they hide on branches, underside of leaves, or between plant parts. Green Oil 930 EC works differently from many traditional chemical pesticides; it does not rely on systemic effects within the plant but on direct coverage of the pest. Its efficiency is therefore largely dependent on the quality of spraying, calibration of the sprayer, droplet size, and ensuring the solution reaches all targeted parts of the plant. Specifications of Green Oil 930 EC Trade name: Green Oil 930 EC Product type: Summer mineral oil / non-systemic insecticide and acaricide Active ingredient: Paraffin mineral oil Active ingredient concentration: 93% weight/weight Carriers: 6.7% Formulation type: Emulsifiable concentrate (EC) Mode of action: Contact through coverage and smothering Target pests: Soft scale insects, mealybugs, spiders Suitable crops: Citrus, palms, pome fruits, stone fruits, olives, ornamental plants Package size: 20 liters Prohibition period: 3 days Re-entry period: 4 hours Registration number in the Kingdom: 464 - 165 - 1236 Suitable temperature range for use: 5 to 35 degrees Celsius Advantages of Green Oil as a summer oil insecticide Works via a physical mechanism based on covering the pest’s body and reducing its ability to breathe. Suitable for controlling soft scale insects, mealybugs, and moving stages of spiders. Non-systemic, making it suitable for integrated control programs when used correctly. Helps reduce the likelihood of resistance development compared to continuous reliance on the same chemical pesticides. Contributes to weakening some eggs and insects with waxy layers when full coverage is achieved. A summer oil suitable for use during the active growing season within an appropriate temperature range. Short prohibition period of 3 days offers more flexibility in timing spraying before harvest. 20-liter container suitable for farms and agricultural projects that rely on periodic spraying over large areas. Can be used within acaricide and spider mite control programs when targeting spiders according to label recommendations. Uses of Green Oil in citrus, palms, olives, and ornamental plants Green Oil 930 EC is used in pest control programs on citrus, palms, especially when soft scale insects, mealybugs, or spiders are present. It can also be used on olives to control soft scale insects, and on ornamental plants when there are infestations of soft scale, mealybugs, or spiders affecting the appearance and growth vigor of the plant. It can be integrated into an integrated pest management program alongside agricultural insecticides or pest control products and rodent control, provided it is not mixed randomly and with consideration of intervals with sensitive substances such as sulfur and captan. Method of using Green Oil 930 EC Mix Green Oil with water in the spray tank with good agitation until a uniform emulsion is formed. Spray the plant until full coverage of leaves and branches from all sides is achieved, as the effectiveness of the oil depends on contact with the pest and forming a uniform oil layer. Based on available data, the usage rates are as follows: Citrus and palms: for controlling soft scale, mealybugs, and spiders at 10 to 15 ml per 1 liter of water. Pome fruits and stone fruits: for controlling soft scale at 7.5 to 10 ml per 1 liter of water. Olives: for controlling soft scale at 10 to 15 ml per 1 liter of water. Ornamental plants: for controlling soft scale, mealybugs, and spiders at 10 to 15 ml per 1 liter of water. Always refer to the label before use, as the final rate may vary depending on the crop, infestation severity, plant age, and weather conditions at the time of spraying. Important tips to enhance the efficiency of mineral oils in spraying Green Oil 930 EC does not rely solely on dosage but heavily depends on coverage quality. In large farms, calibrate the sprayer, adjust pressure, and droplet size to ensure the solution reaches internal branches, undersides of leaves, and pest congregation areas. Use suitable spraying tools from the pesticides and fertilizers section, or choose larger equipment from the pesticide spraying equipment section based on farm size and tree type. Fine, uniform spray helps form a better oil film, while weak or unbalanced spraying may leave parts of the plant unprotected. Precautions and important instructions before using Green Oil Use the product within a temperature range of 5 to 35°C. Do not spray during flowering. Do not mix with sulfur. Do not use less than 3 weeks before or after sulfur application. Do not spray on stressed plants from drought, heat, or diseases. Avoid spraying during strong winds or high temperatures. Achieve full coverage without excessive runoff. Wear gloves, a mask, and protective glasses during preparation and spraying. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep away from children, animals, and food sources. Do not reuse empty containers for other purposes. Difference between Green Oil and systemic pesticides Green Oil is not a systemic pesticide that moves inside the plant; it is a contact mineral oil. Therefore, spraying only part of the plant and relying on internal transfer is not sufficient; the spray solution must reach the pest directly. This makes it suitable for control programs targeting surface pests like soft scale insects, mealybugs, and spiders, provided coverage is properly adjusted. For pests inside tissues or severe infestations that are hard to reach, the farmer may need an integrated control program including other suitable products depending on the pest and crop. Prohibition and re-entry periods Based on available data, the prohibition period for Green Oil 930 EC is 3 days, offering flexibility before harvest. The re-entry period is 4 hours, with a requirement to wear protective equipment when entering the field after treatment if necessary. Always refer to the label before application, as safety instructions and safety periods may vary depending on the crop and conditions.
