PREV-AM use as an insecticide and miticide
Insects and mites are protected by a water repellent layer that loses its effectiveness when contacted by a PREV-AM application. This allows the active ingredient to penetrate and destroy the soft, living tissues underneath. The insects/mites are then exposed to the loss of body fluids, causing death. Flying insects experience loss of the protective coverings and tension in the wings, making them unable to fly. Additionally, water repellent hairs protecting the flexing points in insects lose their effectiveness, allowing PREV-AM to penetrate into their susceptible body parts, which are then destroyed. On some insects and mites the ultra low surface tension of PREV-AM allows an influx into the respiratory organs, causing internal suffocation.
Proven to kill Type Q whiteflies
Whitefly, and other insects with waxy wings, are very vulnerable to PREV-AM.
After just a few minutes, a 0.4% application of PREV-AM has destroyed the wings of this whitefly.
PREV-AM use as a fungicide
The PREV-AM solution wets the protective membranes of the superficial fungal mycelia (hyphae) and spores, allowing the active ingredient to penetrate and destroy the living tissues underneath. This exposes the organism to the drying effect of the atmosphere and causes collapse within 2 to 24 hours. Plant tissue damaged by the fungus may also dry out and prevent further spread of infection, but healthy tissue is not affected at the recommended application rate.
Disease cell-wall disruptor
Cucurbits treated with eight applications of a 10% ciproconazol solution to eradicate a serious powdery mildew infestation, showing hardly any signs of improvement.
A row of cucurbits treated once with PREV-AM at 0.4% concentration as a curative measure. Recommendation: Use PREV-AM at 0.4% concentration throughout season to effectively prevent disease outbreaks.
