What is AGRACIDE™?
AGRACIDE is a liquid formulation containing plant nutrients and other ingredients that enhance pesticidal efficacy when mixed with other pesticides. When applied by itself , it greatly diminishes the harmful effects of aphid pesticides and other soft body insects.


Properties and benefits of AGRACIDE™

• Effective control of soft body insects with a NON-PESTICIDAL formula.
• Synergistic effect when applied with other pesticides. MORE EFFICACY WITH LESS CHEMICALS.
• Beneficial insects remain longer in the field.
• It is not a pesticide, therefore it does not require special licenses.
• Its pesticidal effect is indirectly related to its concentration. The less water required, the less AGRACIDE needed.
