For the control of certain insect pests in fruit, ornamentals, vegetables, and forestry (Eucalyptus spp. and Tea Tree) as specified in the Directions for Use.
SUREFIRE PRESERVE 120 SC Insecticide is formulated as a
suspension concentrate that is suitable for application in
water by aircraft, ground rig or knapsack. It has a unique
mode of action (Group 5 insecticide) and controls insect
pests that are resistant to conventional insecticides. The
active constituent is derived from the fermentation of a
naturally occurring micro-organism. It has low toxicity to
mammals, birds, fish, crustaceans and many predatory insect species. It can be used in integrated pest management (IPM) and conventional insect control programs.
Surefire Preserve 120 SC Insecticide works by both contact and ingestion. Exposed insects stop feeding almost
immediately but may take up to 3 days to die.
A major advantage of Preserve when compared with
many other insecticides is its relatively selective activity
against target insects, such as Lepidoptera and Diptera
species, coupled with generally lesser activity against
many beneficial insect predators and other non-target
species.
The active ingredient, spinosad, is broken down readily by
sunlight. When applied to leaves, some spinosad will be
absorbed. However, it does not readily spread from
leaves to the rest of the plant.
Preserve 120SC is rainfast only after complete drying on
plant surfaces, and is suitable for both dilute & concentrate spraying.
