David Grays Vegetable Derris Dust, 500g: Natural Pest Control for Gardens

David Grays Vegetable Derris Dust 500g

David Grays Vegetable Derris Dust is a ready-to-use insecticide dust for controlling common chewing and sap-sucking pests on vegetables and garden plants. Its active constituent is rotenone (5g/kg), traditionally derived from derris plant roots, and it comes in a convenient shaker pack for dusting straight onto plants.

It is used to control pests such as aphids, caterpillars and other leaf-eating insects on vegetables, strawberries, ornamentals and vines in the home garden. The fine dust settles onto the foliage where pests feed, and the shaker pack makes it simple to apply an even coating over the affected plants without any mixing or equipment.

As a contact dust, thorough coverage matters, so the pests and the parts of the plant they feed on need to be dusted directly. Reapplication is usually needed after rain or as directed, since the dust can be washed off.
