SIPCAM Epinsel – Systemic Insecticide 25ml for Growers

Frequently asked questions

• What does it mean that Epinsel is a systemic insecticide?

  It means the plant absorbs the product and distributes it through all its tissues via the sap. That way it's protected from the inside, even in areas you didn't directly wet when spraying. It also acts by contact and by ingestion, which reinforces its effectiveness.

• Which pests is it effective against?

  It's a broad-spectrum insecticide that fights mealybugs, aphids, whitefly, Colorado potato beetle and leafminers. It's designed for gardening and urban vegetable gardens, where these exact pests tend to show up. With a single product you cover several fronts.

• How long does it take to work and how long does it last?

  The first results can be seen in just 24 hours, especially against aphids. After that, it maintains active protection for 3 to 4 weeks, keeping the pest from coming back straight away. It's a combination of fast action and long-lasting protection.

• How is it prepared and applied?

  Dilute 4-5 ml per litre of water using the dosing cap, top up with water to the volume you need and shake well until you get a homogeneous mix. Then apply as a foliar spray, covering the whole plant well. Pay special attention to the underside of the leaves to get the most out of the treatment.

• Is there a waiting period before harvest?

  Yes, the minimum safety period is 14 days before harvest. Always read the label instructions carefully before using it. Respecting that period is essential for correct use of the product.

• What time of day is best for treatment?

  Avoid applying it during hours of maximum sunlight, and don't treat on windy or rainy days either. In those conditions the product is less effective and you may lose efficacy. Choose a calm moment of the day to thoroughly wet the plant.
