Potassium soap is effective against small insects such as mealybug
The potassium soap is an essential product for our flowerpot. A insecticide natural made from vegetable oils, effective for pest control, safe for people and animals and respectful with the environment.
It is especially effective in combating insect pests such as aphids, whiteflies, mealybugs, mites, and soft-cuticle insects. Potassium soap acts by contact, not by ingestion, softening the cuticle of insects, causing them to suffocate and preventing them from generating resistance.
It is applied by a sprayso that the entire plant is impregnated with the liquid. We must pay special attention to spraying also the underside of the leaves. Spraying is repeated every two days until we see that the plague has been eliminated. After a week, it is advisable to completely spray the plant, this time only with water, to clean it well of the remains of the insects that have remained attached to the plant due to the sticky effect of the potassium soap. Sprays should be done at the beginning or end of the day to avoid sunny hours.
If it is about fighting aphids or the white fly, you are guaranteed success with potassium soap.
It is very easy to find it in any technical gardening.
