New insecticide
Browsing through my garden centre a week ago (I've had news server problems
since the weekend, hence the delay) I was amazed to find a new insecticide available called "Axoris". It contained, in the ready-to-use spray, thiomethoxam and abamectine. What was interesting was that it claimed to be active against red spider mite (that's what the abamectine is for). Next to it on the shelf was a packet of Axoris, containing sachets for dispersal in water. As these are usually better value for money than ready-to-use sprays, I picked one up for purchase. However, despite the almost identical packaging, I could find no evidence of abamectine being included, and, looking closely at the carton, there was no mention of it treating red spider! No sale... So, as usual, caveat emptor! I can't see the sense of making almost identical products which don't do the same things. But it's good to have something new which could tackle red spider. -- Jeff |
