David Grays Tomato Dust 3-in-1 Insecticide, Fungicide & Miticide 500g

David Grays Tomato Dust 3-in-1 500g

David Grays Tomato Dust 3-in-1 is a multi-action garden dust that protects tomato plants from pests and diseases in a single, ready-to-use product. As the name suggests, it combines three actions in one, working as an insecticide, a miticide and a fungicide, so you can deal with the main threats to a tomato crop without juggling separate products. It comes in a 500g shaker pack for easy dusting.

Tomatoes are prone to a range of problems, and this dust targets the common ones: chewing pests like caterpillars (including tomato grub), mites, and fungal diseases such as leaf spot and powdery mildew. Treating pests and disease together makes it a practical, straightforward option for home vegetable gardeners wanting to keep their tomatoes healthy through the season.

It has a short 3-day withholding period, meaning you should not pick tomatoes for 3 days after dusting. The shaker pack lets you apply an even, thin film of dust over the plants, and it's designed to stay on the foliage to keep working between applications.

What It Controls

Tomato Dust 3-in-1 controls a range of insect pests, mites and fungal diseases on tomatoes, including caterpillars and tomato grub, mites, and diseases such as leaf spot and powdery mildew. Always check the label for the full list of pests and diseases it is registered to control.

Active Constituents

The active constituents are listed on the pack: [confirm from your pack — e.g. Sulphur, Copper (as Copper Oxychloride) and either Spinosad or Carbaryl depending on the formulation]. Please refer to the label on your pack for the exact active constituents and rates.

How to Apply

Puff an even, thin film of dust over the plants using the shaker pack, covering both the upper and lower surfaces of the leaves as well as the stems and buds, since pests and disease often start on the undersides. Apply when the air is still, ideally in the early morning or evening, and avoid dusting when plants are moisture-stressed or when temperatures are above 30°C. Do not pick tomatoes for 3 days after dusting. Reapply as directed on the label, and more frequently in wet weather. Always read and follow the label directions and safety directions before use.
