Rapegreen Organic Rapeseed Oil Extract – 1 L

Rapegreen Rapeseed Oil Extract – 1 L is a plant-based product for insect and mite control, acting directly on piercing-sucking pests and mites. The technical label describes a rapeseed-oil base supported by active plant-derived components including neem oil, karanja oil and matrine extract.

Target pests

• Aphids.
• Whiteflies.
• Thrips.
• Mealybugs.
• Spider mites and other plant-feeding mites.
• Scale insects and some eggs and nymphs.
• Nematodes, according to the technical information.

How it works

Rapegreen uses a non-systemic physical mode of action. Plant oils coat insects or mites, helping block respiratory openings and interfere with movement and feeding. The technical information also describes neem oil's role in regulating insect growth and limiting moulting, feeding and egg laying.

Within integrated pest management

• Plant-based with more than one mode of action.
• Helps cover eggs and immature stages when spray reaches them directly.
• Can be incorporated into an integrated agricultural pest monitoring and control programme.

Use guidance

Apply as a foliar spray with direct pest coverage: the product is non-systemic and depends on thorough coverage. Follow the pack instructions or the approved crop-specific technical recommendation for dosage and application frequency.
