Massó Multipurpose Insecticide – Multipurpose Insecticide for Pest Control in Crops

Frequently asked questions

• What pests does Massó's Polivalente insecticide control?

  It's effective against a wide range of sucking and chewing insects: aphids, whitefly, thrips, mealybugs, mites, worms and caterpillars, as well as horse-chestnut leaf miner. Being multi-purpose lets you treat several crops and several pests with a single product. That's its big advantage over very specific solutions.

• What does being systemic add?

  Since it's formulated with 0.5% w/v acetamiprid, the product is absorbed through leaves and roots and circulates through the sap, protecting the whole plant from the inside. That means even the areas you didn't spray directly are covered. It's much more complete protection than simple contact action.

• How long before results show?

  Effects are noticeable 24 hours after application, especially on aphids. It then maintains its residual action for 3-4 weeks, which prevents reinfestations. It's a combination of fast knockdown and lasting protection.

• What's the dosage and how is it applied?

  Dilute 5-10 ml of product per liter of water and apply as a foliar spray, thoroughly wetting both the upper and lower sides of the leaves. Repeat every 3 weeks while insects are still present. For better effectiveness, treat during hours of low sun exposure, early in the morning or late in the afternoon.

• What crops is it approved for?

  It's intended for ornamental, vegetable and fruit plants in home outdoor gardening. Before harvesting, follow the pre-harvest intervals stated by the manufacturer on the label. It's a professional solution adapted for home use.

• How much does the 100 ml size yield?

  Since it's a concentrate, the 100 ml bottle yields dozens of liters of treatment solution. It also includes a dosing cap, which makes it easy to measure the exact amount without hassle. It's a convenient, very cost-effective format for the home garden.
