Vine weevil - Armillatox
"Annabel" wrote in message ... "bnd777" wrote in message ... Get some Armillotox QUICK before they stop its sale .......water all the containers every 10 days .......it works The name rings a bell but what is it sold under as a quick look round has drawn a blank Bel Had a google which was quite interesting: "Paradoxically, Armillatox, Jeyes Fluid, Nimrod T and Roseclear 2, the four with highest profile of those to be banned, have not suddenly become a threat to our health. Their demise is due to new safety regulations and economics. The European Union has decided to review all garden chemicals and ensure they meet modern safety standards. So anything registered for use before 1993 has to be retested. This is a costly process for manufactures whose business instincts might well favour withdrawing certain products from the market. And it does not end there. It is estimated that the review process will take five years to examine hundreds of pesticide substances, many of which will prove dangerous or costly and disappear from the market. For a full list of the 80 or so garden products to be revoked as part of the EU review contact the Crop Protection Association (CPA) Ltd. They are based at 4 Lincoln Court, Lincoln Road, Peterborough PE1 2RP. The Pesticide Safety Directorate offers a searchable database through which you can make an up to date check on whether a specific product is approved. Access this site online at www.pesticides.gov.uk to put your mind at rest. Rose growers will be pleased to know that the Nimrod T - Roseclear 2 duo, that dealt with pests and diseases on roses will be replaced by the dual purpose Roseclear 3.ΚΚ Armillatox and Jeyes Fluid are long-standing friends of the gardener. Both are based on tar acids and have disinfectant properties. Armillatox has been used to halt the spread of dreaded honey fungus, vine weevils and moss in lawns. Jeyes Fluid cleans and disinfects the greenhouse and tools, sterilises soil and clears moss, fungi, lichen and algae. Both have other horticultural uses not listed on their labels and this highlights an interesting point. When the new regulations come on line, Armillatox will probably go but Jeyes Fluid might well continue to be sold as a general disinfectant by the manufacturers without expensive tests. But they will have to remove any reference to plants from the label." from http://www.northumberlandtoday.co.uk...e.asp?Page=475 |
