Monterey 32oz Horticultural Oil RTS

The Monterey Horticultural Oil RTS is an easy-to-use, effective, and safe garden pest control product. Horticultural oil offers an alternative to toxic chemicals, which organic gardeners and home growers can use to combat common insect pests. It is easy to apply with its hose-end applicator, and it can be used in an organic garden due to its OMRI Listed approval.

How It Works

Monterey® Horticultural Oil is not chemically disrupted but is suffocated. The oil sprayed on the insects and their eggs blocks the breathing pores of the insects and results in effective control. Due to this physical mechanism of action, pests are unable to develop resistance, and thus it is a long-term solution to constant pest control. The oil may also prevent the transmission of certain plant diseases as well as control pests by inhibiting insect vectors and blocking pathogen attachment.

Application Guidelines

These are some of the simple steps that should be followed by the users in order to achieve maximum success.

Preparation and Setup

The oil must be mixed well in the bottle before application. Gardeners next connect the hose-end sprayer to a water source and switch the flow.

Best Practices to apply.

• Things must be covered properly.
• Spraying must be done on upper and lower leaves.
• It should be applied in the early morning or evening when the temperature is not too hot.
• To prevent additive stress on the plant, it cannot be applied during drought periods, during freezing weather, or when temperatures are above 90°F (32°C).

Precautions

Before a product is used extensively on a large number of plants, gardeners are encouraged to test it on a small area of plants, especially sensitive ones or open blooms. This makes no spotting or damage. Besides, the oil is safe on most plants as it should not be applied with sprays of sulfur or within 30 days after a sulfur application.

Ideal Usage

The product has a wide range of growing environments.

• Home Gardens: This is a very good organic material that will combat the pests on the ornamentals, vegetable gardens, and fruit trees in the backyard. It is particularly useful with roses and citrus, which are also often the targets of aphids and mites.

• Greenhouse and indoor plants: The RTS bottle can also be used in greenhouses and interior plant gardens. Since the oil is an odorless, non-toxic gas when dry, it provides a viable alternative to handling pests in a controlled setting.

• Fruit and Vegetable Harvest: A zero-day pre-harvest period gives gardeners the opportunity to spray crops on the day that they intend to harvest them. This would make it a reliable product in edible gardens where safety is a major concern.

• Year-Round Protection: Not only does Monterey® Horticultural Oil prevent overwintering pests in their dormant state, but it also protects against summer pests and is consistently used in all growing environments.

Summary

The Monterey Horticultural oil RTS is an insecticide, and besides that, it is also an easy-to-use, environmentally friendly product that will enable you to make your gardening sustainable. It is also safe in any domestic garden, orchard, or greenhouse crop grower because it has a wide control zone, is OMRI certified and easily controlled. It produces reliable results, and it is not damaging to the garden ecosystem as it involves a physical action to attain this.
