Orchard Spray Oil
MOTOROL Orchard Spray Oil has been specially developed for the protection of apple trees from the ill effects of San Jose scale. The use of this product results in healthier trees and helps to increase the apple crop. This product is blended from selected high quality base stocks, and it does not have any toxic ingredient.
Application
MOTOROL Orchard Spray Oil is specifically recommended for spraying on the apple orchards, in the form of an emulsion in water, so as to control the disease caused by the attack of a pest called San Jose scale. The spraying of the emulsion dissolves the waxy protective shield of the insect and the oil film envelops it thus forming a barrier, which cuts off its air supply. The pests are choked to death due to suffocation or respiratory failure.
To make a stable and homogeneous emulsion, the oil should be added to the water and not vice versa, with continuous stirring. MOTOROL Orchard Spray Oil can also be used for protection of eucalyptus, cinchona etc.
