How Does TetraCURB^™ Organic Work? 

TetraCURB™ Organic kills and repels targeted pest populations with rapid knockdown thanks to thorough spray coverage and its multiple modes of action:

Repel:

The rosemary oil is well-known to have a substantial repellent property. Due to its volatility, any mites or small, soft-bodied insects that are not in contact with TetraCURB™ Organic will be alarmed by the vapor exposure and rapidly mobilize to leave the treated plants via an avoidance behavior. TetraCURB™ Organic protects the crop from pest population establishment.

Suffocate:

The high concentration of botanical oils in the blend provides the ability to suffocate the pests by blocking air from entering the pest spiracles, hence preventing them from breathing.

Paralyze:

The key components of the botanical oil blend have activity as octopamine receptor agonists and acetylcholinesterase inhibitors, which are known to be effective neural control modulators in pest nervous systems and are capable of overstimulating and disrupting the nervous system, leading to pest paralysis.

Directions For Use

Always read and follow label directions | Shake or mix the concentrate well before use | Must be diluted before use | Do not store diluted solution 

Recommended Rates 

• Preventative to low infestation: Lower rate of 32 fl. oz. /100 gallons of water (0.25%).
• Moderate to heavy infestation: Higher rates of 64 , 128, 256 fl. oz. /100 gallons of water (0.5%, 1%, 2%).

Application Directions

• Foliar spray. Coverage is key! Apply the TetraCURB™ Organic dilution thoroughly on plant and crop surface using enough spray solution to achieve complete coverage, covering the top and bottom of the leaf until runoff. 

For best results, make sequential application at 5-7 days after the first application. TetraCURB Organic has no restriction or limitation on the number of applications per crop growing cycle per year, or the number of consecutive applications before rotating to a chemical with different modes of action.
