🩺💉🌵 CACTUS FIRST AID KIT Just like humans, our cacti and succulents can suffer health problems, and we must respond promptly to prevent their suffering or death. Fortunately, our plants are much more resistant to pests and diseases than tropical or Mediterranean plants. The BASIC FIRST AID KIT contains: 1 x CUTTER 1 x SYRINGE (10 ml) 1 x BRUSH (20 mm) 1 x ANTI-APHIDS/WHITEFLY/COCHINEAL RESCUE (Acetamiprid 0.5% - SL) 1 x ANTICOCHINILLA (Piriproxifen 10% - EC / 10 ml) 1 x SYSTEMIC FUNGICIDE (Difenoconazole 25% - EC / 5 ml) 1 x ACARICIDE (Clofentecin 50% - SC / 8 ml) 1 x HEALING - FUNGICIDE-ACARICIDE (50g Sulfur 80% dispersible in water) PHYTOSANITARY RECIPES (APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS) 1 x APPLICATOR WITH SULFUR 98.5% 1 x POTASSIUM SOAP 1 x SACHET OF COPPER SALTS AREAS OF PHYTOSANITARY ACTION: 🌵▶ 1. PREVENTION By controlling the six basic principles of growing any plant: light, temperature, water, air, soil, and nutrition, health problems are minimized. And by preventing the entry of pathogens through wounds or weak points such as the neck of our plants. 🌵▶ 2. OBSERVATION Monitoring our cacti and learning to identify and diagnose the three main threats that I call “the skull trio”: • Fungi • Mealybugs: limpet and cottony cushion scale • The mite known as the red spider 🌵▶ 3. INTERVENTION ▶ APPLYING DIRECT CONTROL MEASURES: Mechanical or physical. Insect nets, hormone traps, water spraying Biological. Predatory insects, auxiliary fauna Chemist . Selective and efficient plant protection molecules. Aiming to achieve eradication as quickly as possible. ▶ BASIC ELEMENTS OF OUR FIRST AID KIT: Tools: cutter, syringe, brush, gloves Disinfectant: 70° alcohol for tools* NOT INCLUDED Healing: Sulfur powder to SEAL wounds and cuts Complement: Potassium solution ⤵ Agricultural cleaner. Used to remove honeydew residue or secretions from sooty mold fungus on plant surfaces (but not to combat these harmful agents). Wetting and humectant. Adjuvant in the application of real phytosanitary products. Industrial cleaner for agricultural machinery. ▶ PHYTOSANITARY PRODUCTS: The four star molecules recommended by agricultural health authorities in May 2023 for home gardening due to their efficacy and safety profile are: ANTIFUNGAL: Difenoconazole 25% ANTI-COATS: Piriproxifen 10% ACARICIDE: Clofentezin 50% ANTI-APHIDS/ANTI-WHITEFLY: Acetamiprid 0.5% (Can also be used as a rescue treatment for mealybugs in case of resistance to pyriproxyfen) Remember what we always say: “Hit hard, but only once.” This way, you'll avoid resistance and recurrence. “As little as possible, but as much as necessary” is the motto of INTEGRATED PEST and DISEASE CONTROL based on environmental respect. ------------- Pyriproxyfen and difenoconazole can be mixed, but with pyriproxyfen, treatments must be separated by 14 days and with difenoconazole by 7 to 14 days.   If you mix both in a single application, it is recommended to wait 14 days between applications. ADJUST THE DOSES OF THESE ACTIVE INGREDIENTS ACCORDING TO THE ATTACHED PHYTOSANITARY RECIPES AND THEIR ADAPTATION TO XEROPHYTIC PLANTS.
