Aseel Winter Mineral Oil

Aseel Winter Oil

A heavy, more viscous oil generally sprayed on trees during dormancy or when they are leafless to avoid phytotoxicity.

It is primarily used to clear overwintering insects from trees, whether present as adults, eggs, nymphs or pupae.

What are mineral oils?

Petroleum derivatives used in emulsified form for agricultural purposes. Summer and winter oils have similar chemical compositions but differ in three main properties: specific gravity, density and viscosity.

Precautions when spraying mineral oils

• Do not spray summer oils in high temperatures and low relative humidity.
• Do not spray oils when plants are stressed or suffering from lack of water.
