🩺💉🌵 FIRST AID KIT FOR CACTUS
Just like humans, our cacti and succulents can suffer health problems and we must intervene 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) |
|
1 x PHYTOSANITARY RECIPES (APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS) 1 x SULFUR (80% WG JED Fungicide-Acaricide) |
AREAS OF PHYTOSANITARY ACTION:
🌵▶ 1. PREVENTION By controlling the 6 basic principles in the cultivation of all plants: light, temperature, water, air, soil and nutrition, health problems are minimized to the maximum. And avoiding 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. Anti-insect nets, hormonal traps, spraying with water
- Biological. Predatory insects, auxiliary fauna
- Chemist . Selective and efficient phytosanitary molecules. In order to achieve eradication as soon 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
Supplement: Potassium solution ⤵
- Agricultural cleaner. To remove residues of honeydew or secretions of sooty mold fungus from the surface of plants (but not to combat these harmful agents).
- Wetting and humectant. Adjuvant in the application of real phytosanitary products.
- Industrial cleaner for agricultural machinery.
▶ PHYTOSANITARY:
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-APHID/ANTI-WHITEFLY: Acetamiprid 0.5% (It 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 will avoid resistance and recurrences.
“As little as possible, but as much as necessary” is the motto of INTEGRATED PEST and DISEASE CONTROL based on environmental respect.
