Monterey Gal Horticultural Oil

Monterey Gal Horticultural Oil is an all purpose, organic insecticide, miticide, and fungicide for organic gardening. It is perfect for all kinds of plants, such as roses, vegetables, citrus, fruits, ornamentals and all other flowering and ornamental plants. It is OMRI-Listed®, safe for use in organic gardening to ensure all the edibles and flowers are kept healthy in line with the organic gardening practices. This oil works to alleviate some common garden bugs such as aphids, mites, scales and whitefly as well as fungal problems including powdery mildew and black spot.

How It Works

Monterey Gal Horticultural Oil acts as an insect suffocant and controls pests by physical means. The oil smothers soft-bodied insects and suffocates them, and it also inhibits fungal growth by clogging its cells. It's a treatment that works on the eggs or larvae and the adults.

The oil focuses only on pests and diseases, not the plants themselves. It has a mild composition and is an easy to apply product without toxic residues.

Insect and Disease Control

Monterey Gal Horticultural Oil is effective at controlling a variety of insects and fungal diseases, including:

• Insects: It is effective against aphids, mites, whiteflies, mealybugs, scales and other soft-bodied pests.
• Fungal Diseases: It manages powdery mildew, black spot, rust and botrytis.

It is effective on both the top side and underside of leaves, where pests frequently hide. Used at the appropriate time, this oil is a safe and effective solution to the common garden pest.

How to Apply

To get the best results when using Monterey Gal Horticultural Oil, it is important to use it accordingly. Here’s how to use it:

1. For most purposes, combine 1/3 to 2/3 cup of oil with a gallon of water.
2. Spray both leaf surfaces, as well as the stems. Make sure the whole plant is covered.
3. The dust oil should be applied early in the morning or late in the evening when temperatures are lower. This will reduce the amount of evaporation and will ensure the oil does its job.
4. Repeat the oil application every 7 to 14 days, depending on the type of insect or disease. For best results, always read and follow label instructions.

Safety Precautions

While Monterey Gal Horticultural Oil is safe for plants and the environment, there are a few precautions to keep in mind:

• Avoid Application During Stress: If plants are under stress due to drought or disease, the oil should not be applied.
• Temperature Sensitivity: Do not put the oil in really hot or cold places. Do not apply when the temperature is over 90° or when the ground is frozen.
• Test on a Small Area: Before using this oil on a garden scale, it is always good to test a few plants to make sure they are not sensitive to it.
